Are you Searching for Meaning or Meaningfully Searching? We may not have all the answers, but we do like to ask questions. We think TI might be right for you, so we're going to entice you with …our membership promotion - available to new members who apply (Application) by December 31, 2010.

TI is a participatory, egalitarian, and innovative Conservative synagogue, located in Washington D.C. on upper 16th St. NW near the DC - Maryland line, close to Silver Spring, Takoma Park, Chevy Chase and Bethesda. We offer traditional, Havurah, Family, Tot Shabbat, and Carlebach style services.

We ask you to join us in Jewish learning, tikun olam (repair of the world), and education of our children. Our synagogue community is welcoming, "hamish" and committed.

See Why you should consider joining our friendly Jewish community. New to the Washington D.C. area - drop in, say hello, break bread with us, and end your search for a Jewish home away from home. If you are looking for a congregation where you will not be a stranger - where the Rabbi teaches you how to bake challah and ruggelach - and where the people support each other in the good times as well as the bad - this is TI.
