Welcome to Washington DC and Kesher Israel
Here are some local Jewish resources you might find helpful during your stay in our Nation's Capital. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our office with any questions!
Visiting DC with a tour, school, or camp group?
As the only daily minyan in the downtown Washington area, numerous tour, school, and camp groups join us for both weekday and Shabbat services throughout the year. It is our pleasure to provide a "Jewish home away from home" for those who are visiting our Nation's Capital.
In order to better accommodate large groups (10+ people), we request that visitors please contact our Director of Operations, Laura Kamer-Israel, at 202-333-2337 or Laura@kesher.org, before visiting Kesher. This information can help us adequately plan to host you and your group.
Hachnasat Orchim (welcoming guests) has been an important tenant of our community for over 100 years. As a largely lay-led community with minimal professional staff, we appreciate your support and partnership as we continue on our mission to provide a Jewish home to all of our members, visitors, and guests.
We look forward to hosting you during your travels to DC!
