Welcome To Ner Shalom
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.

Facing The Rise in Antisemitism
As you may have seen, heard, or felt, antisemitism has spiked again in this last month, as has Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism. Ner Shalom is here for any support we can provide, and in the case of housing or employment discrimination, please know that the Prince William County Human Rights Commission is also here for you.

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.
