Winter Updates
Shabbat services and Religious School will continue with in-person attendance through the winter! For those still unable to attend in person, we will continue to stream our services on YouTube.
When the weather warms up, we will return to outdoor programming as much as is possible, where it is a little safer to socialize unmasked. In the meantime, everyone is strongly encouraged to wear a mask in the building except while eating at special community events.
We expect all who can be fully vaccinated (with up to date boosters and Flu shots). Regardless of vaccination status, we look to each person of our community to maintain social distance, wear masks when around others, and wash hands regularly to keep themselves and others safe. Doing so fulfills the mitzvah of pekuach nefesh (preserving life).
May the Holy One keep us all safe, healthy, and united as a community.
We are a congregation that supports a wide range of programs and activities for members of all ages.
We are dedicated to preserving the traditions of the past, pledged to serving the spiritual, cultural, educational and social needs of our congregation and the community in the present, and committed to providing innovative and progressive ideas to meet the challenges of the future.
We are a diverse congregation reaching out to all people and making a conscious effort to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome. We welcome everyone who is interested in participating in the lively, vibrant world of Reform Judaism. 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, to seek religious learning and experiences, life cycle rituals, and spiritual guidance.
