Shaarei Tikvah, The Scarsdale Conservative Congregation, is a warm and thriving progressive Jewish community where you can worship and study, share simchas, and connect with Jewish tradition. Our diverse multi-generational membership is small enough to feel like home, yet large enough to offer and support a variety of programs and activities for spiritual growth, learning, and social action. Founded in 1998, Shaarei Tikvah (Gates of Hope) began as a merger of Genesis Agudas Achim from Tuckahoe and Emanu-El Jewish Center from Mount Vernon, two Conservative congregations with long and distinguished histories. These Congregations sold their properties and together bought a former Christian Science Church in Scarsdale, where Shaarei Tikvah operated until a new building was constructed on the same site in 2008.
