6th and I Synagogue (Mini Episode)

“The 6th and I building is going to be purchased and occupied by the Turner Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Church. In 2002 the Turner Methodist Church is going to move to Hyattsville, MD and offers the building up for sale. At that time, the director of the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Washington is going to appeal to the DC Jewish Community  to save this historic building.”

 

Our mini episode this week is a listener request!  We focus this week on Jewish life in the Nations Capital, from the earliest days to the vibrant community that exists in DC today.  In particular we discuss the Historic 6th and I synagogue in downtown Washington DC and its long time connection with the oldest active Jewish congregation in the area.  We also discuss the upcoming Capital Jewish Museum, as well as the only congregation in the US to have its own Congressional charter.
