Welcome to DC Minyan!

DC Minyan is a traditional egalitarian Jewish community located in Dupont Circle, in the heart of our nation’s capital. 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. Our hope is that this young community will provide an inviting space for the members of the DC community to share their ideas, their aspirations, and their prayers. As a lay-led community, the Minyan derives its strength and its warmth from you.

On this website, you can find information about our events, how to get more involved, and more! To get more information, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions. If you have additional questions, please email info@dcminyan.org. We look forward to hearing from you!

Shavuot 5779

DC Minyan's 2019 Shavuot Retreat is right around the corner! Join us for a three-day chag starting Friday, June 7, through Monday, June 10, at Capital Retreat Center in Waynesboro, PA. Registration for all participants is now open, and will close on Friday, May 3.

This year we are thrilled to welcome Rabbi Will Friedman and Rabbi Sarah Mulhern as our scholars-in-residence. Other highlights include an all-night tikkun, afternoons at the swimming pool, and plenty of sports.

Like last year, and to ensure fairness and relieve the pressure of a "first-come, first-served" system, this year we will hold a single registration period for everyone followed by a lottery. At the time of registration, a deposit will be required to reserve your number in the retreat housing lottery. The time of your registration request has no effect on your chance to attend the retreat. Registration and housing requests for DC Minyan Members will continue to be a priority, with housing assigned first to all DC Minyan Members, and then, as space allows, to associate members, non-members, and guests.

If you have any questions, please email shavuot@dcminyan.org.

Shabbat Morning Services - 5/4 - **All Souls**

Please join us for Shabbat Morning Services on May 4 starting at 9:15 a.m. at All Souls Unitarian Church.
