Message from the President Thank you for considering B’nai Shalom of Olney as a congregation for you and your family. B’nai Shalom has played such a vital role in the lives of my family and has been an incredible source of friendship, education and spirituality. My husband and I have watched our children thrive in the Early Childhood School, the Religious School and the Upper School; and the community has become our extended family. We would love the opportunity to have you become a part of this welcoming community. One thing that makes B’nai Shalom special is that there is something for everyone! Whether you are interested in parent socials, Shabbat dinners, innovative adult education opportunities, social action, Torah study, or a plethora of religious services; our vibrant multigenerational community has it all. I believe you can find what you’re looking for right here at B’nai Shalom of Olney, and if it’s not here, we will help you create it. Most importantly, it’s the people who make BSO such an amazing place. Along with our wonderful, diverse, active members, we are extremely fortunate to have a very professional and gifted clergy and staff. Rabbi Ari Sunshine and Hazzan Sara Geller are warm, energetic, inspiring leaders who engage our congregation in dynamic conversations, study, and beautiful prayers. Carol Cohen Wolfe, our Director of Operations, ensures the vitality and safety within our walls to the benefit of every member. We are also so grateful to our Early Childhood School Director, Beth Hoch, and our Education Director, Maryana Harouni, for their innovative skills, passion for what they do, and their dedication to our community. I look forward to your getting to know these exceptional people. I hope you will visit and/or worship with us soon. Please feel free to call or email if you have any questions. B’Vracha (with blessings)
