History came knocking at 600 I St. NW, and innovation greeted her at the door. Step inside the 102-year old non-denominational, non-membership, non-traditional Sixth & I Historic Synagogue and you’ll find yourself at the threshold of fluid Jewish culture. At Sixth & I, what it means to be Jewish is up to you.

We are a congregation without borders where the lines of devotion blur to create a spiritual fusion of fresh rituals. We are a mecca for arts, entertainment, and discussion, where people plug-in to what’s happening at the forefront of the cultural scene. We are an ongoing experiment in creating a uniquely Jewish experience, where identity and community intersect on your terms.
