DC Minyan is a traditional egalitarian Jewish community located in Dupont Circle. We seek to create an environment that will welcome, enrich, and challenge people of all ages, from all backgrounds, and with all levels of familiarity with Jewish texts and ritual. As a lay-led community, DC Minyan derives its strength and its warmth from you.

Shabbat Services

FRIDAY NIGHT SERVICES - 2/13

Join us for Friday night davening on Friday, February 13 at 5:30 pm.

SHABBAT MORNING SERVICES - 2/21

Join us for Shabbat Morning Services on Saturday, February 21 at 9:15 am. Kids programming will begin at 10:30 am.

Kiddush is sponsored by the Rabinowitz-Tanen family in "thanks to the DC Minyan community for a wonderful 13 years! We can't wait to host you in Shepherd Park. Love, Jesse, Becca, and Micah"

Kiddush is also sponsored by Hillel Smith, Benjy Braun, Julia Zuckerman, Rachel Lipman, and Loren Berman in honor of the back-to-back World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers, who play their first game of 2026 today, and the prospect of warmer LA-style weather. We love LA!

Upcoming Events and Programs

PRE-SERVICES PARASHA CLASS - STARTING 2/21

Starting on Shabbat February 21, join DC Minyan Chinuch before Shabbat Morning Services as we delve into specific problems (grammatical, religious, ethical) that arise in our weekly Torah portion and see how our classical commentators contend with these issues. Come for good Torah, good food (cold brew! Entenmann's!), and a good time. This hopefully will be the first of a series of Shabbat morning Torah studies with breakfast; we'd love to see you at as many as you'd like to attend!

We will meet from 8:30–9:00 am.

PURIM IS COMING - 3/2–3/3

Purim is just around the corner, March 2 and 3. Sign up now for any and all programming:

CONTRIBUTE TO THE PURIM SPIEL - 3/2

The DC Minyan Purim spiel is participatory, playful, and a little irreverent. It invites the community in and gives us a much-appreciated chance to laugh. We will enjoy the brief spiel on Monday night, March 2 shortly after megillah reading.

This year we're crowdsourcing ideas from the community. Do you have an idea for a bit, observations about unspoken norms at shul, a scene that lovingly pokes fun at DC Minyan or Jewish/trad egal culture? We want to hear from you!

Submit your ideas/pitches/inspiration to our spiel writers by Thursday, February 19!

We’re also still accepting volunteers for the spiel team. Whether you’re a returning spiel regular or brand new, we’d love to have you. Please contact Programming Chair Abigail Romirowsky at programming@dcminyan.org to volunteer.

JOIN THE KIDDUSH COORDINATING TEAM

The kiddush team is seeking to add another member to its coordinating team. The role involves making online orders for kiddush every two weeks, updating about deliveries, and attending brief meetings every couple of weeks to coordinate with the other members of the kiddush coordinating team. If interested, email Programming Chair Abigail Romirowsky at programming@dcminyan.org.
