Mission Statement
Adas Israel seeks to create a unique, shared space where we can discover what it means to be human and to be part of a sacred community. Through the medium of Judaism, we foster moments that celebrate the joy and wonder… • of being alive • of being connected to the world • of feeling amazed by life • of being awed by God • of finding intimacy & connection in the presence of each other In that joy and wonder, we seek to travel the path of sacred action, kindness, and repairing the world.
About This Cause
Adas Israel ("the community of Israel") was founded in 1869 by a group of immigrants from Europe who sought to maintain traditional Jewish observances in the context of the modern American community. They conducted their earliest services in a small loft above a carriage factory near the U.S. Capitol. Eventually, they joined the Conservative movement and created a synagogue that is unique in its blend of tradition and innovation. In 1876, President Ulysses S. Grant attended the dedication of Adas Israel's first permanent house of worship. That building, at 3rd and G Streets, N.W., is a Jewish museum. Adas Israel has been at its present location since 1951.
