Lower Merion

The Lower Merion Kehillah is a vibrant alliance of Jewish organizations, synagogues, community volunteers and representatives located outside Philadelphia, in the Main Line district.

Kehillah means community, and it is the goal of the Lower Merion Kehillah to create inspired Jewish connections, programming and diverse offerings for anyone that wants to engage. There is something for everyone in Lower Merion!
