After serving the Orthodox Jewish community of Perth Amboy for 108 years, Congregation Shaarey Tefiloh is closing its doors forever and hopefully will be selling its building soon. Many of the items from Shaarey Tefiloh's "Gift Store" and some of the stained glass items from the old shul were sold on Sunday, October 23.
Most furniture and items structurally attached to the building (e.g., stained glass windows) will remain to be sold with the building. A permanent home for the bronze memorial tablets is planned. The disposition of all items will follow Orthodox Halacha.
Torahs, silver Torah ornaments, and sanctuary contents have not been sold yet.
