Friday Night Services - 10/11

Please join us for Friday Night Services starting at 7:00 pm at the Edlavitch DCJCC, 1529 16th St NW (entrance on Q St NW). This week, we'll be meeting in the 16th Street lobby on the second floor.

Sukkot Services - 10/14–15

Please join for your Sukkot Services on Monday, October 14 and Tuesday, October 15 beginning at 9:15 am each day at the Edlavitch DCJCC.

Kiddush on Sukkot is sponsored by Neil and Alisa Rubin Kurshan in honor of Tamir Simonovich Kurshan’s fifth birthday and by Abigail, Shai, and Ilan Romirowsky in honor of the birth of Kira and Ezra and with gratitude to the DC Minyan community for all of their support.

DC Minyan has reserved the Edlavitch DCJCC Sukkah for BYO (bring your own) lunch on first and second days of chag following shul on Monday and Tuesday. Since the JCC sukkah is small, if you want to bring a large group for one of these time frames, please email Jordy Snyder (etrog@dcminyan.org) to coordinate.

Additionally, if you would like to reserve the sukkah for a different meal over Sukkot, please email the EDCJCC’s Director of Jewish Life & Learning Elie Greenberg at egreenberg@edcjcc.org.

Please join us for Shabbat Morning Services on October 19 starting at 9:15 am at the Edlavitch DCJCC.

Meet new people and nosh on delicious snacks. The Sukkah Hop is open to all ages. The event is free, but we encourage a $5 donation per person to DC Minyan to help cover the costs of the program. Sign up here to hop by Wednesday, October 16.

Leo Schleifer's Bar Mitzvah - 11/2

The entire DC Minyan community is invited to celebrate the bar mitzvah of Leo Schleifer, son of Rachel Levitan and Yigal Schleifer. The bar mitzvah will take place during DC Minyan's regularly scheduled Shabbat services on November 2 at the Edlavitch DCJCC. Services will take place in Cafritz Hall (aka "the gym”), to be followed by a kiddush luncheon upstairs.
