Magen David Sephardic Congregation

Magen David Sephardic Congregation-Beit Eliahu (abbreviated as MDSCBE) is a Modern Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in North Bethesda, Maryland, in the United States.

By 1966, these immigrants and their descendants had formed a board of directors for what would become Magen David Sephardic Congregation and a charter was enacted.

The early years of the congregation had a heavily Moroccan style, but gradually began to adopt a more broadly North African and Middle Eastern style as other immigrants joined.

Magen David welcomed Ashkenazi visitors and members and embraced European influences, but maintained its Sephardi traditions.

Due to surging membership, the congregation needed a larger space.
