Bet Mishpachah is an egalitarian synagogue in Washington, DC, founded in 1975 by members of the city’s LGBTQ+ community. The congregation is centered on inclusive Jewish worship and explicitly embraces a diversity of sexual and gender identities as part of its religious life and communal purpose. Its regular rhythm includes Erev Shabbat services on Friday evenings at 7:30 p.m., offered in person and virtually, followed by an Oneg Shabbat social hour. The synagogue also gathers on the second and fourth for ongoing worship and connection, and its congregational life includes festival events, High Holy Day observances, and broader community programming. Bet Mishpachah also makes available its siddur, Shavat va-Yinafash, reflecting a distinct liturgical practice within a long-established LGBTQ+ Jewish community.
