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.
