We are a synagogue community guided by the rabbinic teaching, “The world is sustained by three things: Torah, Avodah (worship), and Gemilut Hasadim (acts of lovingkindness). We fulfill our vision of synagogue life through life long learning, in celebration and worship, and by community service and programs.

Chizuk Amuno Congregation is a diverse community of individuals and families, adults and children. We strive to offer Jewish resources for all who participate with us and we embrace all who wish to affiliate with us. As a dynamic and historic center for Conservative Judaism in Baltimore, we proudly honor the practices of traditional Judaism and the needs of contemporary Jews.

Chizuk Amuno is a founding member of the Conservative movement, the Jewish Theological Seminary, and United Synagogue of America. We are part of the Seaboard Region of United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism.

Our Sacred Community During These Difficult Times
During difficult times in our lives, sacred community is most precious. This is certainly true these days. As all of us feel the impact of the current economic recession, we in the Chizuk Amuno community are present for one another, sharing empathy and caring.

We are very aware that members of our congregation face significant challenges. These are anxious days for us all. As a synagogue community, we exist to provide emotional and spiritual support, and to offer guidance and assistance whenever we can. All of us want to make sense out of the challenges we face and the Jewish identity we cherish.

If we can be helpful to you in any way regarding your synagogue membership or school tuitions, please do contact us. As well, if you are aware of someone in our synagogue family who may need assistance, please help us assist them. All Chizuk Amuno member and school families can take comfort in knowing that they will be able to continue participating with us.

Together we seek to be a Kehilah Kedoshah, a sacred community. As individuals and families, we can find meaning for our lives through our studies of Torah; our shared experiences in Avodah, worship and celebration; and participation in community and performing acts of loving kindness, Gemilut Hasadim.
