Germantown Jewish Centre

The Germantown Jewish Centre is a vibrant, pluralistic and egalitarian synagogue located in Mount Airy and committed to sustaining and strengthening Jewish life in greater Philadelphia.  Affiliated with the Conservative movement and receptive to the wisdom of many sources in Judaism, we engage in life-long Jewish learning and strive to make Judaism relevant and important to our members’ lives.  As a welcoming community, we embrace a wide diversity of Jewish lifestyles and households.  Encouraging a variety of styles and settings for religious practice, we foster multiple prayer communities.  We sustain each other by celebrating holidays and life-cycle events, and by sharing in cultural and social activities, social activism, and community building.  We support the State of Israel and Klal Israel.  We work to strengthen Northwest Philadelphia through civic and interreligious activities.  To these ends, we maintain a fiscally sustainable institution.
