Kesher Israel Congregation

Such a beautiful and wonderful place to Daven! Shout out to Jonathan for being so accommodating!

Was in town for the evening and went there for mincha mariv and shachris. Very friendly chabadish crowd.

Consistent and welcoming Shul near all the major DC hotels. Think about walking from your hotel as it’s not as far as you think. Shacharis is 7:15am, which is late for early meetings. Keep in mind.

I attended this synagogue for four days (not Shabbat) while vacationing in DC in August 2019. It's an okay shul if you, like me, need a minyan to daven. Nobody bothered to greet me, but nobody asked me to move because I took somebody else's seat either. On second day I told the gabbai that I needed to recite Gomel and was given the opportunity to do so. On my last day I mentioned that to the gabbai and he called me for aliyah on his own. The shul was always packed. I mean it as a positive thing, that the minyan was strong and reliable, not that there wasn't enough room. The only minor negative thing I can say is that there is no bulletin board with service schedule, although that information is available on their website. Overall, a nice place to daven.

I davened there once while staying for Shabbos in DC. The family whose house I was staying at, as well as the larger community, were very nice and interesting. The Shul itself is beautiful and historic, and they have a good Kiddush. I have only good things to say.
