For more than 150 years, Washington Hebrew Congregation has been dedicated to meeting individual congregants’ spiritual and “lifecycle” needs. As one of North America’s largest congregations, it offers educational opportunities for all ages, a broad array of cultural and social programming, and speakers on Judaic and secular topics. Volunteer congregants are the foundation of the temple, and participation in programs and events are strongly encouraged. The congregation consists of Jews aligned with Reform Judaism of all ages, occupations, interests and income levels. Programs are designed to meet the spiritual, religious, educational and social needs of members, including traditional and non-traditional families, singles, students and seniors. Washington Hebrew Congregation is a member of the Union of Reform Judaism. At each of its two locations – the main sanctuary at the corner of Massachusetts and Macomb and the Julia Bindeman Suburban Center on Falls Road in Potomac — WHC provides a variety of opportunities for worship, volunteering, socializing, and learning for individuals of all ages. WHC and its members have developed innovative community service events such as an annual Mitzvah Day and Martin Luther King Service Day. Interested new members are welcomed and encouraged to get in touch with the Membership Committee for more information.
