The Gate of Heaven is the story of the evolution of Congregation Shaar Hashomayim, from the beginnings of Jewish settlement in Canada to present-day activities. Rabbi Wilfred Shuchat shows how the achievement of political rights for Jews in Canada galvanized immigration, leading the English/German/Polish congregation of the Shaar to create the second oldest congregation in Canada, the oldest in the Ashkenazic tradition.
