On Sunday, September 28th at 10am, join Off the Mall tour guide Ami Greener on a walk
about notable Jewish contributions to DC history, just in time for Rosh Hashanah. This
tour starts at Hillel International in the Gallery Place neighborhood and winds towards
Judiciary Square, highlighting the stories of Jewish-American Washingtonians who made
their mark. Learn the answers to such questions as who was the first US president to visit
a DC synagogue while in office, and why did he donate $10? Why did the first
synagogue built in DC have wheels? Which historic synagogue was saved at the last
minute from turning into a nightclub? And who were the first Jews to live in this new city
on the Potomac. This 2-hour walking tour will end in front of the Capital Jewish Museum
(not officially affiliated with tour), where guests have the option to gain admittance
following the tour.
