Shabbat Services
Erev Shabbat services are held every Friday evening at 8:00 pm both in-person and virtually. Services are followed by an Oneg Shabbat (social hour). Sponsorship for any Oneg to celebrate a special event or remember a yartzeit is available.
Most services on the second Friday of the month are upbeat musical Mizmor Shabbat services with song leader/guitarists Rabbi Ben Shalva or Robyn Helzner.
Shabbat Morning Services are held the 2nd and 4th Saturday morning of each month at 10:00 am, both in-person and virtually, and include a Torah reading (on the triennial cycle) and a participatory discussion on the Torah portion. When we meet in person, services are followed by a kiddush lunch.
Shabbat services are held at the Edlavitch Washington DC Jewish Community Center (EDCJCC), located at 1529 16th St NW, Washington DC 20036. The entrance is on Q Street.
For more information about specific services, festival events, and other programs, please see the Calendar or refer back to our homepage.
