Founded in 1981, Congregation Shaarei Tefilla was the first Orthodox Synagogue in Nevada with the main purpose of providing Jewish education and services to all Jews regardless of their background or level of observance - without any judgments.

Congregation Shaarei Tefilla operates within the framework of an Orthodox Congregation and under the auspices of the Union of Orthodox Congregations of America.  As of 2017, the Canor for this congregation is Lola Rivera.

Congregation P’nai Tikvah, formerly known as Valley Outreach Synagogue, is the only congregation in Nevada affiliated with the Reconstruction and Renewal movements of Judaism. Located in Las Vegas, Valley Outreach Synagogue was founded by Rabbi Richard Schachet in 1993. In 2005 he retired and Rabbi Yocheved Mintz became spiritual leader of the congregation. Reconstructionism views Judaism not just as a religion, but as an entire culture, which evolves over time and continues to be shaped by tradition.
