Who we are

About Us

As the only Reform synagogue congregation in Southern Maryland, we hope to provide the opportunity for the entire Jewish community and all people who share our interests in perpetuating the Jewish heritage and sense of belonging to become a part of Congregation Sha’are Shalom.

Congregation Sha’are Shalom is affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism. URJ creates, connects, and inspires diverse congregations, camps, and other Jewish communities to pursue our vision: a world in which Judaism enables all people to experience peace and wholeness (shalom), justice and equity (tzedek), and belonging and joy (shayachut and simcha).
