About Congregation Shaarey Zedek
Congregation Shaarey Zedek in East Lansing is a Reform Jewish congregation that welcomes people of all backgrounds, family structures, and beliefs into its community. Under the spiritual leadership of Rabbi Amy B. Bigman, the congregation serves as a home for singles, interfaith couples, LGBTQ individuals and their families, those new to Judaism, and lifelong Jewish members alike. The congregation functions as a Bayit Midrash (House of Learning), Bayit K'nesset (House of Gathering), and Bayit T'fillah (House of Prayer), emphasizing the interconnected spiritual, educational, and communal aspects of Jewish life. While primarily offering Reform-style worship as a member of the Union for Reform Judaism, the congregation also provides Conservative-style services, allowing families to choose the service format they prefer for significant occasions such as B'nei Mitzvah celebrations. The congregation is deeply committed to supporting its members through both joyous celebrations and times of difficulty, functioning as an extended family for those far from their biological relatives.
