:: 2239
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.
