Home

Ner Shalom has been the home of the Jewish Community in Prince William Country for four generations. We are deeply connected with and committed to serving the people in Prince William County, Virginia, in the Greater D.C. area.  We host and participate in interfaith collaborations and social justice outreach, and actively support efforts on behalf of those who are most vulnerable.  We are joyful in our celebrations and grateful for our blessings. 

We hope to always be the Light of Peace, dedicated to the ideals of justice, kindness, and faith. All who feel a kinship with the Jewish Community are welcome here. 

Our synagogue is more than a building, school, or set of programs. Congregation Ner Shalom is its membership, pure and simple. Our members come from all over the world and represent every stream of Jewish thought and practice. With membership, we commit ourselves to a journey of discovery, where each of us, in our own way, deepens our connection to Judaism and ties to Israel. Some of us will discover greater Jewish meaning in Torah classes; some with new friends in a Jewish group; some from worship and singing; some through acts of Tikkun Olam. Join us and we'll help you discover your unique path.

Congregation Ner Shalom is more than a journey; it's a destination. The Hebrew term for synagogue is Bet Kneset - Home for Gathering. Some refer to a synagogue as a Bet Midrash - a Home of Study or a Bet Tefillah - a Home for prayer. By forging your own Jewish path with us, we can create a home together that honors all of the meaning and hope in our name.

Join us for Shabbat or an event that interests you to meet the members and the Rabbi. If you would like more information, we can send you a packet of information including a newsletter, calendar of upcoming events, schedule of services and school brochures.
