Shabbat and Festival 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.
