Welcome to Temple Micah
 Temple Micah, named by Newsweek as "One of America's 25 Most Vibrant Congregations", is a Reform Jewish congregation dedicated to the spiritual fulfillment of its members. We value religious observance enhanced by social action, intellectual challenge, lifelong Jewish learning and beautiful music. Our diverse and welcoming community nurtures personal connections through active participation in a vibrant temple life.
Memorial Service at Cemetery on Sunday, Sept. 5
The annual memorial service at Temple Micah’s cemetery is set for Sunday, Sept. 5 at 10 am. This brief, reflective service takes place among the peaceful trees at the Micah Cemetery at Mt. Lebanon Cemetery on Adelphi Road between New Hampshire and Riggs Rod. Everyone is welcome. Refreshments will be served.
Order High Holy Day Tickets Online
 The High Holy Days are early this year--Rosh Hashanah Eve is Wednesday, Sept. 8. Now is a good time to order tickets online. No log-in necessary. At the same time you can request day care, list names for Yiskor, order a prayer book, make a donation, or volunteer to help make our services the awe-inspiring experience we all love.
Come as You Are High Holy Day Services for 20s-30s
It won’t be your parents’ High Holy Day Services. Temple Micah’s new Next Dor High Holy Day services—just for Jews in their 20s and 30s—will be informal and filled with music led by Michelle Citrin. They will take place at the Temple, 2829 Wisconsin Ave., NW, at 7 pm on Wednesday, Sept. 8 for Rosh Hashanah eve, and at 7:30 pm on Friday, Sept. 17, for Kol Nidre. On Rosh Hashanah, come at 6:30 pm for wine, apples and honey. More information is available for Rosh Hashanah and Kol Nidre.
Machon Micah S’lichot Service at a Reasonable Hour
Once again, Temple Micah will hold its S’lichot service—traditionally close to midnight—at 5 pm on Saturday, Sept. 4. S’lichot is the service that gets us in the frame of mind for the High Holy Days, which begin four days later. At Micah, S’lichot is an all community gathering with learning opportunities for everyone, married/single, old/middle aged/young, with or without children, intergenerational and food. Rabbi Zemel talks about S'lichot and the start of Machon Micah. Download the program guide for S'lichot.
