About Ner TamidNer Tamid Greenspring Valley Synagogue in the heart of the Baltimore Jewish Community is a vibrant Modern Orthodox congregation, which welcomes a broad array of identifying Jewish families, and offers them exciting programming to grow religiously and spiritually. Ner Tamid has a rich history in the Baltimore area. In the 1950s the Ner Tamid congregation was created as a merger between two smaller Baltimore shuls. Under the spiritual leadership of Rabbi Herschal Leibowitz zl Ner Tamid grew from a couple dozen families to over 600 member families. To accommodate this growth, a beautiful new building was constructed to accommodate a large sanctuary, social hall, Beis Medresh, youth room, Library and 10 class rooms. The beautiful main sanctuary seats over 500, but can be opened up to the adjoining social hall to seat the over 1200 people who daven here on the High Holidays. The social hall, where we hold Shabbos kiddushes, Seudot Shlishet, and simchot, from bar and bat mitzvah luncheons to weddings, accommodates seating for over 300. In 1986, after the retirement of Rabbi Leibowitz zl, the Shul was fortunate to bring in our current spiritual leader, Rabbi Chaim Landau, who continues to lead Ner Tamid today. Since then arriving, there has been an influx of young families with children to Ner Tamid, adding to the spirit of the Shul and creating a warm and caring multi-generational environment. Besides minyanim and regular classes, our Shul sponsors special events such as Shabbatonim with visiting Scholars-in-Residence, a full schedule of youth activities, lectures on political issues, and religious topics, and instructive and inspiring programs related to the land of Israel. Rabbi Chaim Laudau, is not only our spiritual leader for over two decades, but also a community activist as he encourages the support for Israel and its victims of terror, the feeding of the hungry, and the comfort of the ill and the aged. His involvement in the Modern Orthodoxy movement demands the acceptance of all facets of our religion and requires no judgment of religious observance. He has the ability to teach and makes learning enjoyable. He loves the joy of Judaism and makes it contagious..
