The Honorable David Tatel
This year, we celebrate a remarkable convergence: the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and the 150th anniversary of Adas Israel Congregation’s historic synagogue, which sits at the heart of the Museum. First dedicated during the nation’s centennial, the synagogue stands as an enduring symbol of Jewish belonging, community, and patriotism in the American story.
Thank you to those who join us in supporting the Museum’s mission to collect, preserve, and share the diverse stories of Jewish history and culture in the National Capital Region. Through exhibitions and programs, we build connections across generations and communities, encourage reflection on the relevance of the past to today, and inspire civic and community engagement.
Our annual gala helps sustain this work, ensuring that these stories continue to inspire visitors today and propel the Museum forward for generations to come.
If you have questions about further supporting the event or the Museum, please contact Malki Karkowsky, Chief Advancement Officer, at 202-290-2593 or mkarkowsky@capitaljewishmuseum.org.
