Top Synagogues in Washington, United States

Loved the energy the congregation has. 1st time here. You felt the joy and unity with everyone.

GW Chabad was so meaningful to me as an undergrad, it enhanced my GW experience and enabled me to meet some of my closest friends, all while strengthening my relationship with and connection to Judaism. I particularly enjoyed Shabbat dinners and holiday seders with Rabbi Yudi and Rivky; my time at GW would not have been the same without them. Some of my fondest memories are from time spent at GW Chabad!

10+ STARS to the institution that changed my life. The experience of being with Rabbi Yudi, Rivky, and the Steiner family - whether for Shabbat, a Jewish holiday, or just a casual gathering - is incomparable to anything I've ever experience. The Steiners are among the warmest, most enthusiastic, most genuine people I know on this earth. Their home is AMAZING, the food and drinks never stop flowing, and the guests are just as fantastic. This is a MUST for any Jew visiting DC - don't miss it!

Rabbi Yudi and Rivky made my time at GW so memorable. They are the most welcoming, caring, thoughtful people, and they treat every student as if they are a member of their own family. They have fostered a warm, nourishing environment for the Jewish students and their friends at GW, something that not every college campus is fortunate enough to have. After meeting my husband at the Steiner's home 8 years ago, I am grateful to say that Rabbi Yudi officiated at our wedding, and that we still keep in touch with him and Rivky regularly to this day. Yudi, Rivky, Levi, Meir, Rochel, Doba, Mushka (and now Moshe), plus our friends we met through them at Chabad GW, were undoubtedly my best college friends! Their family will breathe light into your soul and I cannot recommend getting to know them and the other students at Chabad GW enough.

Rabbi Yudi and his wife made me feel so welcome in their home. I have had such great experiences going to their Shabbat dinners. I met awesome people and formed stronger bonds , ate great food and learned more about my Jewish heritage. I felt more comfortable and confident being Jewish after attending these meals. Five stars!

Rabbi Yudi and Rivky are two of the warmest, kindest, most welcoming people I have ever met. The sense of community they create carried me through my time at GW and helped me build life-long friendships!

The place to be at GW!!! The food is insane every week.. I don’t know how Rivky does it, but every Jew at GW gets top notch treatment! Shabbat is the best atmosphere ever and sooo welcoming. 5 stars is an understatement!!!!

Where do I start? I have made some of my best friends at Rohr Chabad GW! Rabbi Yudi & Rivky are the most dedicated and kind people I know! They have created a warm, welcoming Jewish community that feels like family. From Shabbat dinners to high holidays, they've got you covered! BEST CHABAD EVER

When I had a community member that needed help, Rabbi Yudi and Rivky were there! They truly care about every Jew in town. When others will only act when there is pomp, show and PR, the Steiners get it done quietly and with class.

Great synagogue, great congregation, and great clergy. The podium goes up and down, it is so cool!

Rabbi Ceitlin and the Chabad congregation in Northeast are very welcoming to all who wish to take part in Jewish activities. We enjoyed meeting up with the group in Lincoln Park in September for the celebration of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. With social
Distancing and masks, of course!

We visited back in 2008 and found it to be a wonderful congregation!

Tranquil, peaceful, and beautiful setting for any event.

I love the building I was one of the Architects but the congregation in the community are great

My favorite

Welcoming congregation. Egalitarian.

Nice place best chabad

As usual, it was wonderful yesterday ... This warm, egalitarian, participatory community has been operating for nearly 50 years (now in its 4th location and sharing space at the Washington Ethical Society). It is a classic - indeed pioneering - "havurah." Visitors are welcomed to services held Saturday mornings at 9:30. Holiday services are also held, times and sometimes locations vary. Services are mainly in Hebrew; Torah discussion (in English) is a highlight. Shabbat services are over just after noon followed by kiddish. Please check the website as on rare occasions services are held elsewhere.

Amazing community! We love it here.

Attended Shabbat evening service on June 21, 2019. The people were super nice and amazing. The service was wonderful. If you’re looking for a Jewish community either for one night or a more permanent basis I encourage you to check out Temple Sinai.

Very warm and welcoming people! Love it!

Special place

This place is wonderful. A caring community and deeply devoted to social justice.

Rosh Pina is not an Orthodox synagogue. They are incorrectly identified as such in the google results. According to their website they "are a dati community built around a common commitment to halakha, tefillah, and equality. Rosh Pina meets on the second and fourth Shabbat mornings of each month"

Most people refer to Rosh Pina as a "Partnership Minyan"

Kesher Israel is the only full time Orthodox synagoue in downtown. Chabbad meets several days a week including every shabbat and holiday. if you are looking for an orthodox minyan those are you only two choices within walking distance.
