  • A caring community that supports its members in need materially and spiritually
  • Ways for everyone to contribute their talents, energy and passion to the life of the community
  • Connections to the larger world that enrich all involved.

Whether you are passing through our nation’s capital or seeking a spiritual home, comfortable in your Jewish practice or uncertain where your encounters with Judaism will lead you, you are welcome at Tifereth Israel. Come join us us!
