Congregation Har Shalom

Best synagogue in the region. Rabbi Raskin is a scholar and a mensch. Lots of great people and activities. Beautiful facility.

Warm, welcoming, and without pretension. That's the mission, and they do it well. From octogenarians to toddlers, there's something for everyone in this well known, and well established, Potomac synagogue.

The staff is great, the clergy down to earth and accessible, and since the recent renovations, the facilities are truly first class. I've grown up here and I'm raising my kids here. The place is a second home to my family. You should make it one to yours.

As a videographer I often work there filming rehearsals for Bar and Bat Mitzvas. This month I am doing the video production for their Cinderella musical.

Welcoming community, the Rabbi and the head of membership relations were quick to extend their welcome and help me feel at home, the community seems very inclusive, you can feel the love and the strong ties amongst the members. There were people of all ages in the group.

Came here for a summer camp and was SPECTULARLY CLEAN! Even in the summer it was in perfect, tip-top shape. Spacious and nice.

I went for a political forum, not Services but the place is lovely. The congregants who facilitated the event were warm and welcoming.

A great place to be Jewish! Rabbi Raskin & Hazzan Ozur Bass bring a warm feeling to this amazing house of worship!

Har Shalom is a second family, they are so welcoming and nice. Everyone knows everyone and can always talk.

Great place to pray. Great student curriculum.

Welcoming community

Called to talk to Rabbi Adam Raskin about something that I felt was pretty important. He called& left a voice mail a week later, I called back immediately and left in a voicemail two 8 hour slots of time that he could call me in.

He didn't call either of those times. I called again left a yet another voice mail. Then, SEVENTEEN days later his secretary calls asking me to make an appointment to talk to him because he is very busy. (Why did she not do this the first time?)

Gee, way to make me feel unimportant at a religious institution?! Maybe if I was Jewish I wouldn't have had this experience. This institution doesn't care about the members of the community in the least.
