B'nai Israel Congregation of Baltimore

Located just minutes from Baltimore's Inner Harbor, the historic 130-year-old B'nai Israel Synagogue, the longest continually operated traditional Orthodox synagogue in Maryland, graphically proclaims the timeless message of our Jewish Heritage in a truly unique fashion. The Synagogue architecture, which inspires and uplifts us in prayer, has become the backdrop to a creative array of Jewish educational, spiritual and social programs for the Baltimore Jewish Community and especially for area residents of the Baltimore Harbor communities of Federal Hill, Canton, Fells Point, Butchers Hill, Mount Vernon, East Harbor and surrounding areas. And there's no generational gap at B'nai Israel; the young adult and seasoned citizen alike find that a pleasant atmosphere of mutual respect pervades the offerings in Jewish Education as well as the holiday parties and bus trips. B'nai Israel regularly plays host to Jews visiting for business, pleasure and health reasons and provides a welcoming, supportive atmosphere and comfortable religious services to Jews of all backgrounds. Also since the 19th century, the Congregation has continuously maintained The B'nai Israel Cemetery, an active, modern and dignified Jewish memorial site.
