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.
