Kehillah means community.

The CK community is the synagogue that doesn't look or act like a synagogue. It is not your grandparents' shul. It is not your bar/bat mitzvah synagogue. The Capital Kehillah is being created by the people who want to journey with us and embrace its precepts. We are being guided on a path that has no destination. We believe in the essential beauty that lives in Community!

Are you a recent transplant to the DC area looking for a Jewish spiritual connection?

Are you a long time resident of DC and dissatisfied with the options for Jewish community available locally?

Are you looking for a vibrant, eclectic Jewish community where you are nourished and accepted for the uniqueness that is you?

Do you have trouble praying but always thought it was the Hebrew that kept you from experiencing the Divine?

When was the last time you went to a synagogue and came away with something meaningful for your life?

Mission

The Capital Kehillah is an experiential Jewish community that brings together people of all ages and religious backgrounds who seek a heightened spirituality. We provide opportunities to deepen our connection to the Divine through music, meditation, prayer and service. The CK community aspires to put into action, "You shall love the other as yourself"

Vision

The Capital Kehillah perceives a need for a joyful contemporary Jewish presence in the Greater Washington area.

We seek to reveal and explore Judaism's wisdom teachings as a relevant access point to return our people back to their ancient mystical routes. We seek to revitalize Jewish practice by emphasizing its spiritual depths

We seek to create and share a supportive spiritual home where both stranger and kin is invited into the tent of Abraham and Sarah.
