Congregation Beit Midrash

Rockbridge Country Club, 4135  Rockbridge Road  

"Exciting and interactive"

  Beit Midrash is a modern and Orthodox congregation committed to  providing an inclusive, welcoming environment for Jews of all  backgrounds to come together in a community of prayer, learning and  fellowship.  Recognizing that acquiring knowledge of laws and  traditions is the essence of Judaism, Beit Midrash emphasizes  education and participation in services and seeks to work with and  contribute to the entire Jewish community of Columbia. 

Beit Midrash is located at Rockbridge Country Club, 4135  Rockbridge Road, off N. Trenholm Road in Forest Acres.  In operation since 2002 at Rockbridge, The Learning Shul conducts all Shabbat as well as Yom Tov (Holiday) Services. We also have monthly Friday night services (see below). We celebrate all Jewish life cycle events, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, Brit Mila (Circumcisions), baby namings and weddings.

The congregation is called Beit Midrash (in English: The Learning Shul) because the Rabbis teach as the service goes along. Visitors are always so delighted to see  how involved we are and how we not only have knowledge but more  importantly, how we seek the same. We are not just a congregation; we are also a family.

Full Membership is $750.00 per year and Associate Membership is $500. We recognize that there  are those families that are in a position to give more and do, and  there are families that need to give a bit less and do. We ask you to  do what you can to help us meet our expenditures in order to continue  to prosper and grow.
