Happy Pewsday! Original pews from three of the oldest synagogues in DC are making their way into our historic synagogue. Visitors will sit on them while viewing an immersive film about early Jewish life in the nation's capital and the creation of this historic building.

[Capital Jewish Museum @CapJewishMuseum]

Our historic synagogue was dedicated on June 9, 1876. See it restored to reflect its original construction when the new museum opens on June 9, 2023. #DChistory #JewishMuseum
