Founded in 1990 in a nearby house, Kemp Mill Synagogue's second home is in its new building on Kemp Mill Road, near the far east side of Wheaton Regional Park. The Orthodox synagogue is led by Rabbi Jack Bieler and strives to be a place where community and prayer are combined.
Located at the corner of Ballard Street and Georgia Avenue, Mikvah of Washington provides a Mikvah for use by the local Jewish community. A Mikvah is a "bath" used for religious purification in the Jewish faith. It is a part of the traditional procedure for people converting to Judaism, for women after childbirth or menstruation, and for some men to achieve purification. It may even be used to purify eating and cooking utensils.
