Chizuk Amuno Congregation

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.
