Centennial Support

As part of the Edlavitch DCJCC’s Centennial celebration, we have embarked on a bold campaign to help launch us into the next century.

Campaign Goals and Priorities

The Centennial Campaign is anchored by three priorities that position the Edlavitch DCJCC for its next 100 years. Together, they strengthen Jewish life, steward our historic home, and ensure long-term vitality. Learn more in the full Centennial Campaign Viewbook.

  • Strengthen Jewish Life for the Next Century
    Expand and evolve programs that meet people where they are and create meaningful pathways into Jewish life across generations, such as:
  • Steward Our Historic Home at 16th and Q
    Our building has been the physical heart of our community for much of the last century. Investing in the long-term care, safety, and functionality of our building ensures it can continue to serve as a welcoming hub for Jewish life.
  • Ensure Long-Term Sustainability
    By doubling our endowment, we help to strengthen the Center’s financial foundation so we can weather future challenges, invest boldly in new opportunities, and ensure our programs and community thrive.

Together, these priorities reflect our responsibility to honor the legacy we have inherited and to steward the Edlavitch DCJCC as a vibrant, inclusive home for Jewish life well into the future.

By investing in this Centennial Campaign, you can help ensure that the Edlavitch DCJCC remains the vibrant hub of Jewish Washington. To learn more about supporting the Centennial Campaign, please contact:
