Our community is proud to partner with a number of local organizations serving our larger Jewish community:

Bikur Cholim of Greater Washington

Bikur Cholim is a core community partner delivering support for patients and caregivers. They also manage a free, kosher pantry in each of the area hospitals. Our shul has a seat on the board to serve as an ambassador for the programs and services that Bikur Cholim provides.

Jewish Coalition Against Domestic Abuse

Our shul hosts a Purple Shabbat or Purple Purim each year to highlight the work of JCADA, which delivers comprehensive services to victims while empowering future generations to develop healthy relationships.

Yad Yehuda of Greater Washington

Yad Yehuda‘s mission is to serve as the community’s safety net, working to eradicate food and financial insecurity through programs like Emergency Financial Assistance and the Capital Kosher pantry. Since 2006, Yad Yehuda has fed, clothed, paid rent, utility bills and medical bills for needy individuals and families in a way that allows them to maintain dignity. Contact Rabbi Uri to learn more about Yad Yehuda.

Jewish Fertility Foundation

JFF maintains a local and national presence, engaging with hopeful parents by providing financial assistance, emotional support, and infertility education to those struggling to build their families. Our congregation partners as well with other infertility initiatives each year, including with Bonei Olam and Yesh Tikva‘s annual Infertility Awareness Shabbat.

Jewish Social Service Agency

JSSA is a community health and social wellness agency providing mental health, hospice, homecare, holocaust survivor programs. Our shul partners with JSSA and B’nai B’rith each year on Project Hope to pack and distribute Pesach gift bags.

Jewish Federation of Greater Washington

Jewish Federation runs a community support line – 703-J-Caring, to support those facing crisis, and has been a core partner with our shul delivering financial assistance to those in need. They have also been a central community organizer in support of Israel, and their annual campaign benefits nearly all of our local Jewish agencies.

Chevra Kadisha of Greater Washington

The Chevra Kadisha has a dedicated team of volunteers who provide taharas for Jewish burial. They are always looking for more volunteers and our shul partners each year to support their annual Zayin Adar Dinner.

Garden of Remembrance Cemetery

Rabbi Elazar in the Midrash (Vayikra Rabbah 5:5) teaches that all are responsible in life to prepare a place for burial. To that end, our synagogue owns plots that are available for purchase to members (and their relatives) at Garden of Remembrance – Gan Zikaron Memorial Park in Clarksburg, MD. Please contact our office for more information.

Eshel

Eshel raises awareness and sensitivity amongst Orthodox religious and communal leaders, educators and guidance counselors on how to address the needs of their LGBTQ+ members through consultations and trainings.

TSC Alliance

The TSC Alliance has a local chapter dedicated to creating a future where everyone affected by tuberous sclerosis complex can live their fullest lives. Our shul participates each year in the Step Forward to Cure Walk.
