We are excited to be offering Minyan—Prayer Services on Capitol Hill!
There hasn't been traditional synagogue services on Capitol Hill since 1971, when the Southeast Hebrew Congregation moved to White Oak, MD. Now, 50 years later, we are beyond excited to fill this much-needed void.
Capitol Hill is also home to a growing number of kosher food options, making it even easier to live and visit Jewishly in the heart of DC.
