Shaarie Torah is a Conservative Jewish congregation and synagogue located at 920 Northwest 25th Avenue, in Portland, Oregon, in the United States.
History
The congregation was founded in 1905, and shortly after, the congregation purchased a Presbyterian Church on SW Third Avenue and moved it to First Avenue, south of Hall Street. The building was refurbished and became the first official home of Shaarie Torah.
A new synagogue opened on May 15, 1960, at Park Avenue and Jackson Street, but it was demolished a few years later due to the construction of Interstate 405. The current synagogue at 920 Northwest 25th Avenue was dedicated on June 13, 1965.
