 Years ago, WHC formed The EmptyNesters in response to our members whose children had "flown the coop". Today's EmptyNesters are a group of wonderfully energetic people – couples and single – who enjoy each other’s company, participating in a variety of events including many WHC activities, and meeting like-minded EmptyNesters.
We have few, if any, requirements for membership. We have no dues, but we do have a wonderful time together enjoying a very wide variety of activities. We are led by Co-chairs and a great Planning Committee who always find new and exciting programs for the group.
We have enjoyed and continue to enjoy:
- retreats and discussions with clergy, outside speakers and book reviewers;
- music and theater, including National Theater, Kennedy Center, Strathmore, and Theater J;
- world and local travel, including the Baltics, Jewish Italy and historical Jewish Washington, DC and Baltimore;
- local DC events, including movies, winery trips and art museum tours;
- special events, such as our summertime Havdalah & Dinner program and "Meet the Press" Sunday bagel discussions
- service for the Temple, including ushering at Shirei Shabbat Services;
- community service. including WHC Mitzvah Day and our special charity, N Street Village in DC;
- special dinners at WHC, such as pre-Selichot, Break the Fast, and second night Seder;
- Shabbat Dinners in members' homes where we can join together.
Who Are We?
Most members are between 50 and 70+ years of age, but age is a self-limiting condition that we tend to ignore. Whether or not you have children is irrelevant. It's our life experiences and desire to be part of the same community that brings us together. We invite you to join us.
Co-Chairs: Joan Adoff, Ruth Seif, and Marcia Weinberg
