Shaarey Shomayim Seeks
to Regain Former Stature
By the Oak-Woodser
On the stationery of the new
Cong. Shaarey Shomayim is the
legend, "Synagogue and Edu-
cational Center." Perhaps, in
one line, this best expresses
the aims of the newly-reorgan-
ized congregation, which is cur-
rently building its synagogue at
14200 W. 10 Mile Rd., between
Kipling and Gardner.
Disbanded for a number of
years, the congregation had
previously enjoyed a large
membership and much renown
for scholarly contributions to
the Jewish life of Detroit when
it was located on Fenkell and
Muirland, in Detroit.
Now, under the spiritual
leadership of Dr. Leo Gold-
man, Cong. Shaarey Sho-
mayim is re-building its
membership and its educa-
tional program in order to
regain former stature, both
in religious and scholarly en-
deavors.
Already the congregation has
completed its school building,
where High Holy Day services
were held this year, and next
month will witness ground-
breaking ceremonies for the
sanctuary.
With 440 feet of frontage
facing 10 Mile Rd., Shaarey
Shomayim eventually will have
a social hall, in addition to the
sanctuary and classroom facili-
ties, and a large parking area.
In outlining the objectives
of the synagogue, Rabbi Gold-
man stressed the fact that the
congregation seeks to reach the
wider ranks of the Jewish com-
munity in Oak Park by "making
it financially possible for the
average family to become asso-
ciated with the synagogue."
Envisioned by the rabbi
and lay leaders is a congre-
gation that not only will
serve as a place of worship
for young and old, but a
nursery school, religious
school and Hebrew school,
adult classes in Hebrew,.Jew-
ish history and philosophy
and actively participating af-
filiate organizations.
An indication of the empha-
sis that will be given to the
overall educational program is
the intense interest Rabbi Gold-
man himself has in the teach-
ing processes.
