In 2001, Washington Hebrew Congregation welcomed a new rabbi and cantor to the clergy team. They’ve shown up for us for 25 years, now’s it’s our turn to show up for them.

Tonight, you will have an opportunity to celebrate these incredible women at a special Shabbat@WHC celebration.

For questions, please email communications@whctemple.org.

SHORT VERSION

FULL INTERVIEW

We invite you to end your week and welcome Shabbat with us!

At 6:00 pm and again after the service: Have something to eat (to tide you over or as your dinner), a drink (we offer a full bar, plus non-alcoholic options), and connect with your community.

Kids are always welcome, and they’ll be able to eat before (and after) the service, play Connect 4, or create at a coloring table.
