Temple Solel

Solel means “to carve a path:” showing the way for others and leading by example. It also means praise: “Extol the one who rides the clouds: the Lord our God” and commitment to the moral teachers of our faith.
Temple Solel was established in 1964 by a handful of people devoted to Reform Judaism. First meeting in members’ homes, the congregation today occupies a modern building on Mitchellville Road in Bowie, Maryland, that includes a 400 seat sanctuary, 10 classrooms, a library, social hall, and a gift shop.

Temple Solel has much to offer individuals and families:

A place to worship
Torah Study
Learning for young people and adults
Means to Social Action
Organizations for men, women and young people
Community spirit
Today Temple Solel has 190 members who – under the new leadership of Rabbi Steve Weisman – continue a commitment to “to blaze a trail” – resolute in our belief, determined in our practice and dedicated to our Jewish faith.
