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.

Eupdate & Bereavement List
Chizuk Amuno sends out weekly e-mails. E-update is Chizuk Amuno Congregation’s weekly notice including Shabbat times, upcoming events, and other announcements. Occasionally we also send out e-mails regarding program cancellations and closings.

We also have a bereavement listserv, indicating funeral and shivah information.

If you are interested in the e-updates or bereavement notices (or both), please send an e-mail to info@chizukamuno.org including your full name and indicating which e-mails you would like to receive. Also, if you are a school parent, but are not receiving a weekly e-mail from Goldsmith Early Childhood Education Center, Krieger Schechter Day School, or Rosenbloom Religious School, please e-mail info@chizukamuno.org so that we can make sure you are getting the information you need.

Please note, in order to keep our records up to date, we request that you send us your e-mail address so that we can reach you regarding urgent matters, regardless of whether or not you choose to receive our updates.

Please also remember to update your contact information if you change your address, phone number, or e-mail address.
