Beth Israel Synagogue was founded in the early 1950's by 20 families who moved to Southern Maryland with the building of the Patuxent River Naval Air Station. Throughout the years we have grown and evolved, catering to a diverse membership with a wide spectrum of both spiritual and religious needs. Our members come not only from St. Mary's County, but also from neighboring Charles and Calvert Counties.

Our building was erected by Jewish as well as non-Jewish members of the community and the doors to the Ark were hand carved by our Mennonite neighbors. Our sanctuary was remodeled recently, and we are planning an expansion of our building  to accommodate classrooms and a community room for celebrations.
