Mishkan Torah Synagogue of Greenbelt, Maryland

A bit about us...

Our philosophy and personality

Mishkan Torah is a friendly, down-to-earth, community-oriented congregation. We offer something for everyone, young, old, single, married, and both Jewish and interfaith families. We welcome individuals considering conversion. Our strong traditions of education and member participation provide a wide variety of opportunities for involvement.

We are affiliated with two movements: the United Synagogue for Conservative Judaism and the Jewish Reconstructionist Federation. Learn more about us by reading what our Rabbi has to say.

Education

The Karp Family School offers Judaic studies and Hebrew instruction to children from kindergarten through seventh grade. It also includes a confirmation program for older children. The school offers family programs and a Junior Congregation as well.

Special programs and educational opportunities for adults in the congregation include weekly classes and less frequent lecture series.

Shabbat Services

Family Shabbat:

The first Friday of each month at 7:30 offers a special program where all family members participate.

Social Times

Join us nearly every Sunday morning at the Koffee Klatch and have a bagel, coffee, doughnut, or even an omelette prepared as you like it! After sitting back and relaxing for a bit, take a few minutes to visit the Sisterhood Gift Shop to find unique Judaic gifts and trinkets. Many Sunday mornings also feature special programs, classes, or music.
