Baltimore Hebrew Congregation
- Baltimore Hebrew Congregation
Baltimore Hebrew Congregation is a synagogue and Jewish community in Baltimore. It is affiliated with the Reform Judaism movement.
Originally named Nidche Yisroel, the synagogue was founded in 1830, and for the first fifteen years of its existence, services were held in a small room above a local grocery.
In 1845, the congregation moved to Lloyd Street under the new name, Baltimore Hebrew Congregation. That building, the Lloyd Street Synagogue, the third-oldest synagogue building in the United States, is now preserved as a museum. As the city of Baltimore and its Jewish population continued to grow, so too did the number of congregants, and thus also the size of its endowment. Thus, in 1891, the congregation moved to Madison Avenue, where it built a brand new building. The Congregation finally moved to Park Heights Avenue on the border of Baltimore City and Baltimore County, as the Jewish population fled to the countryside following the Second World War.
The Day School at Baltimore Hebrew
"Baltimore Hebrew Congregation Day School" is a Reform Jewish Day School added by the congregation in 1991 and has children from 18 months through 8th grade. In early 2008, BHCDS officially changed its name to The Day School at Baltimore Hebrew.
The Day School has received accreditation from the State of Maryland and the Association of Independent Maryland Schools (AIMS), is a member of the Center for Jewish Education of The Associated, Progressive Association of Reform Day Schools (PARDeS) and The Association of Independent Schools (NAIS).
