WELCOME TO OUR SHUL!

Welcome to Shomrei Emunah!  We hope you feel at home, engaged, and inspired at our shul.  Please take a look around our website for details of our multiple minyanim and learning programs, and exciting events throughout the year! 

Dear Shomrei Family,

Thank you for patience over the past several weeks as we have prepared for what we hope will be a beautiful and inspiring Yomim Noraim. While it has been a trying and arduous six months, with our routine of coming to shul on a regular basis disrupted, we hope that you will walk away with a renewed sense of appreciation for the shul.

This time period is incredibly important for the shul from a financial perspective. It is a time when we generate a large portion of our operating budget. We will be using a new website this year for our auction:

shomreiauction.com

As the Rav has mentioned several times in the past, there is a special z'chus to have an aliya on the Yomim Noraim. Please consider bidding generously, whether for yourself, a family member, or a friend.

You will need to register and create an account. If you make a bid, please check your spam folder shortly after your bid, and label it as "non-spam."

In a change from previous years, we will be not be auctioning פתיחה or הגבה וגלילה this year, but will be auctioning ונתנה תקף.

Wishing you and your family a year of health and happiness.

To our Shomrei Emunah Family:

We want to continue to stress adherence to shul guidelines. Baruch Hashem, our shul is setting a proper example.  It is still just as important to maintain the wearing masks and sitting in the pre-marked seats. Please do not confront people who you feel are not following guidelines, but rather approach the minyan gabbai.

If you have been in Florida in the past 14 days, please do not come to shul.

Shabbos minyanim will be beginning with brochos.  All men and women and boys and girls ages 9 and older are invited to register. Minyanim are first-come, first-served, and priority will be given to our members. Only those who register will be able to join.   

Minyan Sign Up Sheet

There will be a Teen Minyan for middle school and high school boys with Rabbi Bennett, which will meet in the Beis Medrash at 9:30 am. To sign up for the Teen Minyan, please only contact Rabbi Bennett at mordechaibennett@gmail.com. A WhatsApp group has been created for the teen minyan updates. Use this link to join.

For those who would prefer an outdoor Shabbos morning option, we will be partnering with Ner Tamid to make a joint outdoor minyan in their fenced in property.  Please contact Murray Jacobson for information murray.jacobson@gmail.com

WEEKDAY MINYANIM: Thank you again for following all the safety guidelines-- wearing masks and sitting in the pre-marked seats - it has been reassuring seeing mispallelim be conscientious of each other.

Virtual Tzedakah Boxes

We are excited to announce that a fantastic new Jewish Children’s Library for the greater Baltimore community is based at our Shul.  The library’s hours are 10-11 AM on Sunday mornings and 2-3 PM on Friday afternoons, and is located in Classroom 3. Shomrei members receive premium membership rates of $18/year reduced from $36 per year.   For more information see www.jclbaltimore.org.   A big thank you to Faige Katz, Rachael Kossman, and the entire library team for creating such a wonderful community resource and extending these privileges to Shomrei members.
