Connecting Young Jewish Professionals in the DC Area

Are you between the ages of 22 – 39 and living in the DC-metro area?
Are you interested in meeting and connecting with other Jews?
Is it important to you to be part of a vibrant Jewish community?

Then become a member of 2239! We are young Jewish professionals (22 – 39 years old) who come together monthly for events that include socializing, networking, religious observance, and volunteering. 2239 offers a spiritual home for Jews in the DC-metro area and is proud to be part of Washington Hebrew Congregation’s strong Jewish community. Our goal is to connect young Jewish professionals looking for friendship, love and religious practice through a diverse array of events and activities in and around DC. Past events have included happy hours, a Purim Masquerade Ball, trips to Israel and Cuba, wine tasting, white water tubing, and much more!

Along with a dedicated and creative steering committee, Rabbi Joui Hessel leads this dynamic group of young people. Both Temple members and non-members are encouraged to join 2239 for its services or events, and we welcome new members throughout the year. If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about 2239, sign up for our email list and join our Facebook group. We hope to see you at our next event.
