Washington Hebrew Congregation is proud to be hosting our 30th Mitzvah Day on Sunday, April 18, 2021. Our goal for 2021 is to reimagine Mitzvah Day to allow our community to continue its commitment to tikkun olam during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have projects that are perfect for all ages that can be done in a safe, socially-distant way.
