'Gates of truth') is a Reform Jewish synagogue located at 400 Craig Road in Manalapan, New Jersey, in the United States.
[1] Founded in 1966, Temple Shaari Emeth originally had 50 member families, and had its facilities at two Manalapan residences.
The congregation established a religious school, with 23 students attending the first class which was held on February 18, 1966 at the two Manalapan homes.
The U.S. Route 9 corridor in Manalapan was expanding quickly, and many Jewish families from New York City were relocating to the area.
By 1967, the members of Temple Shaari Emeth needed more space for the growing congregation.
