Members are saying... "As new residents of the South Shore, we cannot imagine our lives without the sense of community, the friendships, and feelings of Jewish connectedness that we have gained through our active involvement in Sha'aray Shalom." "The thing I love best about our congregation is its members. They are dedicated, conscientious, generous, and compassionate. When something needs to be done, they come together maturely and competently to do it. It is always a wonderful experience to work with such people, and to be a part of what is accomplished." "Congregation Sha'aray Shalom gives us a place for learning, a place for praying and provides a Jewish presence on the South Shore." " I love my temple. I live in Scituate, a 12-mile drive from temple. On cold winter nights I might hesitate as to whether to go out or stay in, but once there at temple, I've never regretted the trip. It's my home away from home." "The Temple provides a Jewish presence and identity in a predominantly Christian community. This has great value to our families as our children have a place to be "Jewish." "When we considered moving to the South Shore, we looked for a synagogue. We wouldn't have moved to the South Shore without its thriving presence. It was, and is, our Jewish address...it's where my wife first called herself a Jew...where our boys learn what it is to be a Jew...where I found a synagogue I could call home...where we have multi- generations of friends." "The Temple has brought dear friends and a warm, caring community to me. Folks were there when I had cancer surgery and treatment, they cared not just for me, but my children and husband for which I am forever grateful." "Congregation Sha'aray Shalom is our place of comfort, community, learning. and connectedness to Judaism. The Congregation embraced us, we got involved, and it ultimately helped us make our choice to remain in Hingham and raise our child here." "As someone who did not participate in a structured religious lifestyle for a long time, Congregation Sha'aray Shalom has given me a place to become reacquainted with my Jewish heritage. It is a comfortable place for our family and provides my son a place to center his Jewish educational experience and socialization as he grows in our very eclectic world." "…lovely temple, beautiful town, close proximity to Boston, wonderful Hebrew and Sunday school, older congregants thirsty for education and spirituality, excellent opportunity for outreach to interfaith families…" "When my wife was sick and dying, the Rabbi and the whole Temple community were there for us. I never had to worry about my kids getting rides, doing food shopping, or anything else. Because of our Temple community, I could concentrate on being with my wife. I can never repay what this Temple community has done for me and my family." "Our commitment is to make Judaism as meaningful as possible for our children, and to make the temple a place of joy and happiness."
