Meet Board President Linda Novosel

Welcome to Congregation Shaarai Shomayim, the fourth oldest congregation in the country. We are located in picturesque Lancaster, Pennsylvania and are the only Reform congregation in our county.
Please review our website to learn about our warm, vibrant, and inclusive congregational family. The website has information about all aspects of Shaarai life: history, events, worship, youth activities, and education.
We hope you will walk through our doors, sit in our sanctuary, visit our classrooms, and feel our warmth and spirit. In our building and in our congregation we embrace Judaism for its history, inspiration, and the comfort it brings to our lives.

Linda Novosel
President, Board of Trustees
