About Us

Welcome

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

The Olam Tikvah community is extremely active and connected. During the pandemic, we are holding services and events, and we have many volunteer opportunities available. Please feel free to call the office at 703-425-1880 or email us if there is any way we can help.

Social and Spiritual Life at OT

Since 1965, Congregation Olam Tikvah has evolved into a vibrant community of 630 families who consider the synagogue their second home. Our welcoming community helps and supports individuals at every age and stage of life.

We offer traditional egalitarian lay-led services. Children are always welcome, and we offer both Shabbat morning babysitting and children’s and youth services. Holidays are celebrated with services and special programs.

We offer educational opportunities through our cooperative-style preschool, religious school, adult education classes and Scholar-in-Residence program.

In the greater community, OT members function in many ways: celebrating Shabbat at local assisted living homes, making casseroles for the homeless, and holding blood drives are only a few of our Social Action initiatives.

We invite you to join us for services, get involved with  Sisterhood, Men's Club, or any of our other synagogue groups, attend an event, or ask about what our younger members are doing. Find out about all the activities and learning possibilities that await you.
