Welcome to Temple Rodef Shalom! We’re glad you’re here.
Whether you’re Jewish or exploring Judaism, new to the area, returning after time away, or just curious, you are welcome at TRS.
We are a thriving, inclusive, diverse, sacred, Reform Jewish congregation located in the Northern Virginia suburbs just outside Washington, DC. Since our founding in 1962, we have grown into the largest Jewish congregation in Virginia, serving over 1,800 households from close–by communities like McLean, Arlington, Falls Church, and Vienna, as well as those who live further afield across the DMV.
We want to help you feel oriented, comfortable, and confident taking the next step.
Reform Judaism is a modern, inclusive expression of Jewish life rooted in tradition and guided by values of compassion, learning, justice, and community.
At TRS, Reform Judaism means:
There’s no single way you’re expected to believe or practice in order to belong.
