Adas Israel Congregation

Adas Israel aspires to perpetuate Judaism, to enrich the lives of our members, and to celebrate Conservative Judaism at its creative best.
Kehilah Kedoshah (A Sacred Community)
We are one community with many faces. Our Conservative congregation is marked by a joyful spirit of warmth, participation and religious aspiration. Among our many minyanim, study groups, and service opportunities, there is one that can make each of us feel at home in our congregation.

L’Dor Va’Dor (From Generation to Generation)
We honor our past and celebrate our evolving Jewish future. Through a powerful chain of tradition and meaning, our members of all ages take pride in supporting our children, youth and young adults in discovering their Jewish futures.

Eitz Hayim Hi (It is a Tree of Life)
We all learn Torah from one another. With opportunities for growth and life-long learning, we enable each in this diverse community, regardless of age or background, to find a path into Torah, personal meaning, and Jewish life.

Ahavat Yisrael (Love of Israel)
We recognize and support Israel as the heart of the Jewish world. As such we find ways to celebrate and uphold the Jewish state through travel to Israel, as well as through educational and outreach programs.

Ohr Olam (A Light to the World)
We are a longstanding pillar of Jewish Washington, and continue to lead through innovation, and in advocating justice and performing charity. Our leadership inspires us to uphold justice through Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World), and through Gemilut Hasadim (Acts of Lovingkindness) to those in need. Our arms are open in kindness and righteousness to the wider Jewish community, to the greater Washington community, and beyond.
