In 1845, the congregation moved into a new home with a new name. Baltimore Hebrew Congregation built a synagogue on Lloyd Street (now under the stewardship of the Jewish Museum of Maryland), which is the oldest synagogue in the state of Maryland and the third-oldest existing in the country. In 1871, the board of electors voted to permit women to sing in the choir, causing a splinter congregation of those who were opposed to such innovation. 

In 1891, the congregation moved into a new home on Madison Avenue, following the movement of the Jewish community north and west through the city. Through the first half of the 20th Century, Rabbi Morris Lazaron internally built our community, while externally breaking new ground in interreligious dialogue and relations. The congregation moved to its current home on Park Heights Avenue in 1951. 

In the 1960s, under the leadership of Rabbi Morris Lieberman, Baltimore Hebrew Congregation grew in size, nurtured many rabbis, and became known for its work in Civil Rights. 

These commitments to rights and learning continued under Rabbi Murray Saltzman (installed in 1978) and Rabbi Rex Perlemeter (installed in 1996) including the addition of openly gay rabbis Rabbi Peter Kessler in 1996 and Rabbi Elissa Sachs-Kohen in 2004.

Today, under the spiritual leadership of Rabbi Andrew Busch, and other clergy, Baltimore Hebrew Congregation works to live into its values through commitments to fostering belonging for all members, working to serve individuals and communities around Baltimore, around the nation, in Israel, and around the world, and directing our learning and action toward improving ourselves and the world. 

We are a spiritual community grounded in the worship, music, and ritual inherited from those who came before and responsive to the needs of ourselves, our children, and our neighbors and communities.
