About Us
About Us
Sha'arei Orah is a Modern Orthodox congregation in Lower Merion. Founded in 2015, our weekly Shabbat morning minyan has grown to serve over 30 families. We are centrally located in Bala Cynwyd at The Homework Bar, 131 Montgomery Avenue.
We are currently led by the lay leadership of our Board. Our Shabbat morning drasha is given by a different volunteer from our community every week.
Please join us to experience our uplifting tefillah and the warm, welcoming environment of our community!
Mission Statement
Sha'arei Orah is a Zionist, Modern Orthodox congregation that aims to cultivate an inclusive and welcoming environment while remaining strongly committed to Torah and halacha. We are striving to build a space for serious and sincere tefillah with a focus on the religious and spiritual growth of our members.
