Synagogue and School

Shalom! Welcome to the website of Congregation B'nai Abraham, located in the beautiful Cumberland Valley. Although we are a Reform congregation, we are also the only Hagerstown synagogue, and all Jews who wish to worship with us are welcome.

Congregation B'nai Abraham was founded in 1892 and has served as a loving, caring center of Jewish life in Western Maryland ever since. As our Congregation grows and adapts in response to the challenges posed by the new millenium, our goals continue to be the same as those of our founders: to educate our children, to serve and support Jewish life in Western Maryland and to contribute to the greater Hagerstown community.
