Melvin J Berman Hebrew Academy (MJBHA) is composed of a preschool, elementary, middle, and high school, all in the same building. It is a co-ed Modern Orthodox Jewish day school with a decidedly Zionist/pro-Israeli tilt. About seven hundred students attend the school. There is also a small kollel from Israel (Kollel Torah Mitzion, lit. "Torah from Zion") that is associated with the school.
Additionally, a small Orthodox Jewish congregation (Beth Joshua Congregation) meets at MJBHA and holds regular Sabbath and holiday services, as well as the morning service (Shacharit) on Sundays. The synagogue also operates a mikvah and eruv. While outside the scope of this wiki, there are also a variety of nearby kosher food establishments in Rockville, Wheaton, and Kemp Mill.
