IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ : Scam artists have recently been sending e-mails posing as Rabbi Wohl to our congregants. Please DO NOT respond to requests for financial assistance or gift cards from Rabbi Wohl. He will NEVER ask you directly for gift cards through e-mail. If you receive an e-mail for a monetary solicitation that appears to be from Rabbi Wohl, please look closely at the sender's e-mail address. The ONLY e-mail address that Rabbi Wohl uses is Rabbiwohl@gmail.com. Additionally, the synagogue office only uses the two following e-mail addresses: office@kolshalomannapolis.org or kolshalomannapolis@verizon.net.
In an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus, our building remains closed until further notice. Our synagogue office voice mail and e-mail are accessible and checked daily (excluding Saturday and Sunday). Please see below for more information regarding livestream services and classes.
