Har Sinai Congregation
Har Sinai Congregation

Har Sinai Congregation ("Mount Sinai Congregation") is a Reform Jewish synagogue located in Owings Mills, Maryland. Originally established in 1842 in Baltimore, it is the oldest congregation in the United States that has used a Reform prayer rite since its inception. Many of the original congregants of Har Sinai Congregation came from what was then the Orthodox Jewish Congregation Nidchei Yisroel (later known as the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation), after Rabbi Abraham Rice protested against the performance of Masonic rites at the funeral service of one of its members. The synagogue was originally known as the Har Sinai Verein (Society).Rabbi David Philipson, in his 1907 work The Reform Movement in Judaism, credited Har Sinai as "the first congregation organized as a reformed congregation" when it was established in 1842. The synagogue adopted the prayer book formulated by the Hamburg Temple, the first reform synagogue in Germany, and services were led by the members. Abram Hutzler, founder of the business that became the progenitor of Hutzler's department store and whose father, Moses Hutzler was a co-founder of the temple, described Har Sinai's earliest practices as "almost orthodox, with covered heads, the separation of the sexes, and the use of 'a Shabbos goy' to light the fires." Later, as part of the congregation's rituals, services were conducted in both Hebrew and English, music was played, and women participated together with men. The first prayer services were held in May 1842 at the residence of Moses Hutzler on Exeter Street and Eastern Avenue, which was above the store that operated on the ground floor. "In 1849, the Congregation built its own temple on High Street in Baltimore and acquired a cemetery." The synagogue purchased a 17-acre (69,000 m2) property in the northwestern neighborhood of Park Heights from the Maryland Country Club, with a new synagogue dedicated in 1938. A $1 million fundraising program was begun in 1953 by Rabbi Abraham Shusterman. A design modeled on Cleveland's Park Synagogue was created, and following groundbreaking in September 1957, the new structure, the Congregation's fourth home, with seating for 600 and able to accommodate 2,200 for High Holy Days services, was first used in June 1959. During the 1950s, Shusterman was a regular panelist on the weekly television program To Promote Goodwill, an interfaith discussion of social and religious issues by clergy representing Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant views, produced by WBAL-TV and broadcast worldwide on the Voice of America. Owings Mills was chosen as the site of a satellite Hebrew school in 1988 and a 60,000-square-foot (5,600 m2) structure was completed there in 2002.

Green Spring Valley Historic District
Green Spring Valley Historic District

Green Spring Valley Historic District is a national historic district near Stevenson in Baltimore County, Maryland, United States. It is a suburban area of Baltimore that acquires significance from the collection of 18th, 19th, and early 20th century buildings. The park-like setting retains a late 19th-early 20th century atmosphere. At the turn of the 20th century, the Maryland Hunt Cup and the Grand National Maryland steeplechase races were run over various parts of the valley. The Maryland Hunt Cup, which began as a competition between the Green Spring Valley Hunt and the Elkridge Hunt, traditionally started at Brooklandwood, the previous home of Charles Carrol of Carrollton (later St. Paul’s school) with the finish across Valley Road at Oakdene, at that time the home of Thomas Deford, which remains a private residence The buildings reflect major architectural styles popular in the United States from the Neoclassical of the 18th century to the Georgian and other revivals of the pre-1930 period and range from modest to elaborate in size. The district's Stevenson railway station is in "good repair." Several church buildings serve as important contributing properties within the district, including St. Thomas' Episcopal Church, Green Springs Methodist Church, Stevenson Methodist Church,: 20  and Sater's Baptist Church. The oldest of these buildings is St. Thomas', where construction started in 1743;: 3  the parish has used the building without interruption since its completion. The oldest extant Baptist church building in the United States, Sater's was built for the first Baptist congregation to be established in the Province of Maryland. The congregation first worshipped in the building's original section in 1746, although the building was substantially modified in the 1860s after suffering extensive deterioration. Greenspring Methodist Church's building, a small Carpenter Gothic structure, was constructed in 1872;: 3  the landowner donated it to the community's black church, and it came into the possession of the present congregation in 1908.: 4  The former Stevenson Methodist Church is a stone Gothic Revival building; its cornerstone was laid in 1905, although two years passed before the building was dedicated.The district was designated and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Its boundaries encompass 282 buildings (148 contributing and 134 non-contributing) spread over an area of 4,800 acres (1,900 ha).
