ABOUT PJC

Founded in 2013, Pikesville Jewish Congregation is a family-friendly, welcoming community of spirited tefilah, thoughtful chesed, and Torah growth.

We collectively aspire towards the ideals of ahavat Hashem (Love of G-d), ahavat Yisrael (Love of the People of Israel), and ahavat Eretz Yisrael (Love of the Land of Israel), in accordance with halacha (Jewish Law). In the Tradition of Maimonides, Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch, and Rabbi Yosef Dov Soloveitchik, we seek to coalesce our Torah knowledge and commitment within the context of modernity and model the highest Torah values in our involvement in the general world.

We invite you to experience our spirited community first-hand. To subscribe to our mailing list, click here.

We are located at 7644 Carla Road, Baltimore MD 21208, and can be reached at info@pikesvillejewish.com.
