Congregation Yad Shalom is committed to providing opportunities to immerse each child in Jewish values, culture, and traditions to enhance their love and connection to the Jewish community. This committment is supported by our Shalom Jewish Children and Religous Education programs.

Congregation Yad Shalom is pleased to announce receipt of a 2006-2007 grant and a 2007-2008 grant from The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington, in recognition of our dedication to pursuing excellence in congregational education.

Congregation Yad Shalom supports continuous education for adults through Hebrew Lessons and study of each week's Torah parsha.
