Kesher Israel Congregation

Amazing people, nice shul, great services and prayers

I attended this synagogue for four days (not Shabbat) while vacationing in DC in August 2019. It's an okay shul if you, like me, need a minyan to daven. Nobody bothered to greet me, but nobody asked me to move because I took somebody else's seat either. On second day I told the gabbai that I needed to recite Gomel and was given the opportunity to do so. On my last day I mentioned that to the gabbai and he called me for aliyah on his own. The shul was always packed. I mean it as a positive thing, that the minyan was strong and reliable, not that there wasn't enough room. The only minor negative thing I can say is that there is no bulletin board with service schedule, although that information is available on their website. Overall, a nice place to daven.

Adorable community with pleasant environment and fun. Very warm welcoming outside guest

Lovely shul and kehilla

We have moved from D.C. now but I am grateful to Kesher Israel. All my times there were very meaningful, and it is a great community with wonderful, caring people.
