We invite you to join us, as you are able. The Light of Peace is an intentionally welcoming and kind congregation.

COMMUNITY INVITATION: We have always provided a variety of options to accommodate attendance at services, in adult and youth religious education, and community events on our beautiful campus. Our programs include not only weekly shabbat services and Jewish Holidays, but also an amazing outdoor preschool for our community, social clubs and discussion groups. We livestream our services for those who cannot attend due to health, distance, or other circumstance. We invite those who are healthy and fully vaccinated to join us in person as minion in our traditional and non-traditional Shabbat services. We welcome visitors, and only ask that you register your presence and connection to CNS if you are new.

Judaism stresses community. Ner Shalom is your Jewish community, as well as your extended family in Prince William County, Virginia.

We STRIVE to build a community based on inclusiveness, where everyone is welcome, regardless of race, age, ability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, a Jew by birth or by choice, as well as those who are seeking religious identity, learning and experiences, life cycle rituals, and spiritual guidance.

HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS: Although the specter of global pandemic has receded, at Ner Shalom we are respectful of the needs of the most vulnerable in our community. We have air filters for our building and use outdoor spaces when practical. For the health and safety of all, we expect all who wish to share space with others to be fully vaccinated (with up to date boosters and Flu shots), to maintain social distance or wear masks when guided to do so, be particularly mindful of the need to care for others, and wash hands regularly as a precaution. Doing so fulfills the mitzvah of pekuach nefesh (preserving life).

May the Holy One keep us all safe, healthy, and united as a community.
