Join us as we bring together generations of Kesherites to reminisce and take part in a remarkable Shabbat weekend. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with old friends and meet some new faces over a shared Shabbat experience. This will truly be a memorable and enriching weekend for all who attend.

Meals will be thoughtfully catered, with Shabbat lunch taking place in a beautiful private setting designed to enhance the experience. We hope you are able to join us for this meaningful weekend.

Kesher Israel is excited to host an Alumni Shabbaton in June 2026. We hope our alumni can join us for a Shabbat of new and old friends, divrei torah, a taste of Washington, and to see how Kesher has both stayed the same and changed in the years since it was your home shul.

Unfortunately, Rabbi Yitz and Blu Greenbergs’ flight has been cancelled and they will not be in DC this weekend. They send their profound regrets and hope to reschedule their scholar in residence at some point soon.

The lectures for tomorrow and Sunday have been cancelled. The communal lunch is still on. Rabbi Shafner will give a short shiur right after Kiddush that everyone is welcome to stay for on, “How often should the blessing of the Kohanim be given? A strange historical twist”. We apologize for the inconvenience.
