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.
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.
 Micah Trip to Poland and Israel, March 23 - April 4, 2011
This will be an incredible experience—from the Shoah to rebirth. As you read the itinerary, you can see and feel the highlights: paying homage to the vibrant culture of Jewish life in pre WWII Poland, honoring the memories of Hitler’s victims by making pilgrimage to Auschwitz and other camps and then going on to Israel to experience our people’s return to history and the vibrant renewal of Jewish life that is the State of Israel. Please fill out the registration form asap to ensure we have enough people to go forward. Start here for all the details.
