Upcoming Events and Programs
DC MINYAN AND HADAR DC BEIT MIDRASH - STARTING 1/21
Join DC Minyan and Hadar DC for a monthly Beit Midrash starting NEXT Wednesday, January 21! On Sukkot, Purim, Pesach, Shavuot, and Tisha B'Av, we read special megillot connected to the themes of the holiday. In this new monthly Community Beit Midrash, we'll dive into these megillot with the help of midrashim in preparation for their corresponding holidays. Everyone is welcome, whether you are new to these megillot or you want to dig deeper through midrash. We will spend time both learning together and in havruta (paired learning), and daven Maariv together at the end of class. Snacks will be served.
The classes will occur on the third Wednesday of every month from January through May, from 7:30 to 9:00 pm at the Edlavitch DCJCC (1529 16th St NW). Registration is not required but is helpful, so if you plan to attend, please register here. Please contact Maya Levisohn and Elliot Dine at chinuch@dcminyan.org with any questions.

SEEKING PURIM COORDINATORS & VOLUNTEERS - 3/2 and 3/3
At DC Minyan, this “minor” holiday is a major highlight of the year! 🎭 A DC Minyan Purim means a Spiel, Mishloach Manot, Matanot La’Evyonim—and, of course, plenty of food and fun.
We’re looking for two Purim Coordinators to help make the magic happen by overseeing logistics, food, and festivities for Monday evening, March 2, and Tuesday morning, March 3, as well as volunteers to run specific Purim programming pieces. Coordinators and volunteers will be closely supported by the Programming Chair. Please contact Abigail Romirowsky at programming@dcminyan.org to volunteer.
