Current Programs
Non-members/Visitors
are welcome to attend programs for a $5.00 fee. If a guest joins the Society the fee
will be applied toward the membership dues. Programs generally start at 1:30 PM
- see exact time for each meeting, below. Doors open a half-hour earlier.
Meetings start with JGSGW business, introductions of new members, and then the
guest speaker.
Non-members may attend one meeting a year for free!
To encourage guests and potential new
members, we have created a one-time fee waiver certificate for those who
wish to attend our monthly meetings. Normally, we charge $5 for each guest,
but if an attendee brings this certificate to one meeting during the program
year, we'll waive the $5 fee.

The Historical Society's important exhibit
on the Jews of DC during the Civil War will be on display at
Beth El and the meeting will be preceded by guided tours of the
exhibit.
This touring exhibit opened at Washington
Hebrew earlier this year; on July 20 the exhibit moved to Temple
Beth El in Alexandria.
One of the most important events in our
nation's history, the Civil War forever altered American life.
Washington and Alexandria were sites of intense activity. This
new, original exhibition tells stories of Jewish life in
Civil-War Washington and across the river in Alexandria.
Mounted as part of national celebrations
of Lincoln's bicentennial in 2009, this exhibition includes
images from JHSGW collections, supplemented by photographs from
the Library of Congress and other local repositories.
