Gateways in the Community

Passion & Compassion
At Gateways, we work across the Jewish denominational spectrum to serve our community’s needs, wherever they arise. By forging connections, opening dialogues, and supporting healthy families, schools, and synagogues, we can work together to become champions of inclusion and build a Jewish community where every child and family feels welcome.
