Welcome to Machar
Welcome to Machar, a diverse Jewish community serving secular Jews, Humanists, and interfaith and mixed-heritage families in the DC metro area. Celebrate Jewish culture while remaining true to your beliefs!
Community Sundays
Whether online or in person, we welcome you to join us.
We offer learning and fun for all ages!
Though we have suspended in-person gatherings dues to the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to have a very robust and engaging Sunday schedule.
Our Jewish Cultural School (JCS) meets online roughly two times a month and Adult Education generally meets on the Sundays when JCS is not.
Please visit our Events Calendar for specific dates and details regarding both programs.
We regularly update our online schedule and will be sure to announce our plans once in-person gatherings resume.
