Each of our Jewish journeys is unique, and at Washington Hebrew, you will find clergy and educators who will meet you wherever you are on your path.
Washington Hebrew is a welcoming community where people at all stages of life can celebrate, support, learn, and grow along life’s Jewish journey. We remain committed to meeting the needs of our community now and in the future. Through Congregational Commitment, we can help current members maintain a lifelong connection at a support level of their choosing and make joining our sacred community more accessible for prospective members.
We are individuals and couples; we are seniors and students.
We are families with young children, and we are empty nesters.
We are single parents, blended families, widows, and widowers.
We are LGBTQ+ and their allies, Jews of Color, Jewish, Jew-ish, and interfaith.
