Within a 104-year-old building, Sixth & I offers the DC community a fresh, resonant, and creative mix of high-impact cultural, social and spiritual programs. Timely, resonant, provocative, and affordable programs with authors, musicians, politicians, comedians, filmmakers, journalists, actors, chefs, and other thought leaders allow the community to plug in to what’s happening at the forefront of the cultural scene. At Sixth & I, everyone is welcome, regardless of religious background, sexual orientation, gender identity, race/ethnicity, or disability.

In 2004, Sixth & I opened its doors as a place where people, especially those in their twenties and thirties, could connect to Judaism, arts, and culture both religiously and socially. At Sixth & I, what it means to be Jewish is up to you. With a multi-denominational and non-membership approach, we are an ongoing experiment in creating a uniquely Jewish experience, where identity and community intersect on your terms. Sixth & I introduces young professionals and Jews of all ages to an unconventional, inclusive model of 21st-century Jewish life.
