Welcome Home

We’re a proud Reform Synagogue in Schenectady, NY, with a rich history dating back to 1854. At Gates, you'll find a caring family united by social action, meaningful prayer, lifelong education, and vibrant social activities. We are the spiritual home to many, including over 100 students in Gates Quest, our re-imagined religious school.

We believe in meeting you where you are. We encourage you to engage with Judaism on your own level and on your own terms.
Gates warmly welcomes all:
  • Jews by birth and Jews by choice;
  • interfaith couples and Jewish-adjacent families;
  • young adults, seasoned members, married, and unmarried individuals;
  • and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
You belong here!
 
Our Gates are open to all.
