For generations, Washington Hebrew Congregation has been the place where our community gathers to pray, learn, celebrate, and support one another. It is where children begin their Jewish journeys, where families mark life’s sacred milestones, and where we all find comfort and connection.
Just as our founders built WHC in 1852, each generation has sustained it for the next. Now, we invite you to help ensure that future generations will experience the same vibrant Jewish life that has shaped your own identity. Leaving a legacy gift to WHC is a powerful way to plant seeds for those who will come after you. Your gift—no matter the size—secures the values, traditions, and community you cherish.
“I did not find the world desolate when I entered it. And as my parents planted for me before I was born, so do I plant for those who will come after me.” — Talmud
Making a planned gift is simple and can often be done with just a few words in your will, living trust, or beneficiary form:
If you have already included WHC in your estate plans, thank you. We would be honored to recognize you as a member of the 1852 Legacy Society and keep an accurate record of your gift. If you are considering making this commitment, we encourage you to take the next step. A legacy gift ensures that the WHC you love today will be here for your children, grandchildren, and the generations who will follow.
To let us know about your plans—or to discuss how you can join the 1852 Legacy Society—please contact:
