The EmptyNesters auxiliary was formed over 15 years ago by Rabbi Weinberg and a group of wonderfully energetic people who saw the need for creating an extended family at WHC for members like us. We are a group — made up of couples and singles — who enjoy each other's company and a wide variety of activities.

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.

Please sign up for our monthly eNewsletter, Snippets, or just join us for any of our events. Everybody is welcome.
