Oseh Shalom was founded as the Jewish Congregation of Laurel on May 24, 1966, by 16 families expressing their commitment to a cohesive Jewish presence in Laurel. Quality programs were provided from the beginning, thanks to the dedicated efforts of energetic and talented members working together with part-time paid professionals. Services were first held at a local bank and then in our interim home in the Montpelier community of South Laurel. The growth of the greater Laurel community enabled us to build a small, versatile synagogue/Religious School in 1973 at 13714 Briarwood Drive. In August 1973, members chose the Hebrew name Oseh Shalom, "Source of Peace."
