It has been six years since our first meeting in February 2002 in a bookstore in Dupont Circle. Since then, we have seen tremendous growth; not only in our members, but also in our programming and events. Our community today includes single people as well as families young and old. We have active members right out of college, students, professionals of all ages, and retirees. We offer text learning, social service engagements, happy hours, Shavuot retreats, Shabbat lunch and learns and so much more.

We welcome people of all ages, from all backgrounds and all levels of familiarity with Jewish texts and ritual. DC Minyan relies on its members to provide the services, events, learning programs and more that sustain our strong and vibrant community. The membership funds we raise now help us to pay for our room rentals, speakers' fees, new Siddurim and Chumashim, and countless other events throughout the year. Every contribution helps us continue to provide enjoyable and meaningful services, as well as learning and social action programs.

And membership has its privileges! As a member of DC Minyan in the coming year, you will receive:

  • Free High Holiday tickets
  • The Opportunity to participate in the annual membership forum
  • Access to important announcements and community information
  • Discounts on events, such as inspiring speakers at our Lunch & Learns
  • Discounted room rental at the DC JCC
  • Access to the wealth of resources available in our community
  • Access to information about lifecycle events
  • Ritual help and support during lifecycle events
If you have not yet taken the opportunity to renew your membership or officially join DC Minyan, we encourage you to do so as a way of giving back to the community that has offered so much to you in the way of events, services and social network.

Please fill out our online membership form to become a member or purchase high holiday tickets. Payment may be made via PayPal or by check. Membership fees are outlined on the membership form. If you are unable to pay the full fee at this time and still would like to become a member, please email the Steering Committee at sc@dcminyan.org, where we will be happy to arrange a reduced fee or a payment plan.

We are so happy to have you as part of our growing community and hope you will join us in helping it thrive this year by becoming an official member.
