Description

Gesher is a thriving and growing Orthodox community that aims to provide those aged 18-30 with events and experiences to engage with their religious identity.

Our Shule
Remember that davening you had when you were younger? Maybe you heard of a stellar Shule overseas that had strong Kavanna (Praying with intention), the best kiddush and singing that left you on a high?

Gesher aims to exemplify that Shule experience for our young community. The Gesher Shabbos davenings fuel our activities and engagements each week. It offers rich and diverse opportunities for Jewish prayer, expression, learning, and community building. With its energetic and lively singing, the Shule is a base for young people from all over the community.

We offer an inspiring davening with uplifting melodies, followed by a delicious weekly kiddush. Come join us as we daven (pray), learn and celebrate together!
