“Temple Shalom doesn’t rush you, or judge you, or expect you to arrive already knowing who you are. It surrounds you with people who are ready to celebrate you, challenge you, and love you. The community will sit with you through every high and low, failure and success. Temple Shalom has been with me every step of the way, and it will be here for you too. That is its gift: knowing that no matter where life takes us, this community will keep holding us, teaching us, and reminding us who we are and who we can become.” – Lily Blackman, Age 16, Erev Rosh Hashanah services, Sept. 22, 2025

Come and Join Us

We invite you to enter the stream of Jewish experiences, where new understanding and insights await you and those you love. Temple Shalom is a place with Torah at the center, where serious learning is for everyone, where prayer and music is meaningful, participatory, and powerful, where people reach out to one another during times of celebration and sadness.

If Judaism matters to you, you will find something significant here. You will find relationships – connections to others who share your interests. You will find a commitment to excellence. You will open the gates to Jewish life.

At Temple Shalom we belong to a community that accepts us as we are and supports us on our life’s journey. The strength of our Temple Shalom family can be felt in all of our services, programs, and activities, and is built upon the diversity of our members. Please come experience a Shabbat with us, drop-in to one of our religious school classes, or attend one of our many events and programs.

Please call the Temple Office at (301) 587-2273 or email ten.molahselpmet@pihsrebmem with any questions, to arrange a time to visit, or to let us know you will be stopping by a service, dinner, or other gathering..
