Please enter on 16th Street to the left of the main sanctuary, and proceed through the doors to the left. If you did not receive the email with additional information about our relocation, please email the Steering Committee.

SUKKAH HOP - 9/29

Join DC Minyan for the 6th annual Sukkah Hop on Saturday, September 29th, at 12:30 p.m. We will break into small groups to hop from sukkah to sukkah and enjoy fun food, drinks, and great company. This program is a great way to get to spend some time with other community members and meet new friends. Register by September 26!

We are looking for community members with sukkot who are willing to open up their temporary homes to small groups of guests. If you'd like to be a sukkah host, help out with the hop, or have questions please email Kaylin Bugos at sukkahhop@dcminyan.org.

This year we have the privilege to honor two members of our community who have helped build up DC Minyan during their years of involvement. We are honoring Ben Solomon-Schwartz as Chatan Torah and Miriam Szubin as Kallat Bereshit in recognition of their outstanding service and many contributions to DC Minyan. In keeping with a common custom in Jewish communities, please consider making a donation to DC Minyan in their honor.

DC Minyan is once again selling Lulav and Etrog sets for Sukkot. Standard sets are available for $35 for members and $40 for non-members. Deluxe sets are available for $45 for members and $50 for non-members.

If you ordered a lulav and etrog, you should have received an email with information regarding pickup. If you have questions, please email etrog@dcminyan.org.
 

MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

DC Minyan's 5779 Membership Drive is underway! Please check your email for important membership information. If you did not receive the email, please contact Membership Coordinator Natalie Lascar Lefkowitz at membership@dcminyan.org.

If you or someone you know is interested in joining DC Minyan, please visit our membership page or contact Natalie for more information. We look forward to welcoming you to our community!

DC Minyan relies on its members in order to provide the services, events, and learning programs that sustain our strong and vibrant community. Because DC Minyan employs no professional staff, the membership funds we raise go directly toward DC Minyan’s significant ongoing expenses, which include rental space for services, kiddush and onegs on Shabbat, Shabbat lunches and dinners, holiday services and events, the Shavuot retreat, and more.
 

HIGH HOLIDAY TICKETS

High Holiday registration is still available to everyone! If you attended and have not signed up, please do so!
