About Us

Our traditional, egalitarian Conservative synagogue located in the heart of Jewish Fairfax is full of opportunities for spiritual growth, learning, and social interaction for people of all ages.

Congregation Olam Tikvah is a vibrant, multi-generational community connected by shared spiritual engagement. A Conservative synagogue, inclusive and rooted in tradition, we embrace the opportunities and challenges that come with exploring Judaism in the modern world. Our mission is to empower individuals to build lives filled with Jewish meaning.

Values/Pillars of our community
L’dor V’dor, every member can aspire to this mission and grow the kehillah through:
• Limmud (Education)
o We support lifelong Jewish learning. We help members of all ages deepen their understanding of Jewish beliefs and rituals so that they may feel confident participating in any service, at any synagogue.
• T’fila (Prayer)
o We promote prayer in synagogue life. We engage thoughtfully in daily minyan and Shabbat services, contributing to our own spiritual fulfillment and connecting with one another.
• Kehilla (Community)
o We create a place for meaningful friendships. We offer fun opportunities to socialize, we celebrate joyous occasions, and we support one another in times of need.
• Tikkun Olam (Social Action)
o We strive toward tikkun olam. We face outward and seek to be a positive influence through hands-on engagement in our local community.
• Eretz Israel (Land of Israel)
o We connect with the Land of Israel. We recognize this important aspect of our heritage through varied experiences and exchanges
