Shaarie Torah is a Conservative Jewish congregation and synagogue located at 920 Northwest 25th Avenue, in Portland, Oregon, in the United States.
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.[1]
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.[2][3] The current synagogue at 920 Northwest 25th Avenue was dedicated on June 13, 1965.[4]
