from our leadership

Dear Sixth & I community,

2022 was an exceptional year for our organization. After more than 18 months of serving people in their living rooms and navigating the ever-changing landscape of the pandemic, we welcomed audiences back to Sixth & I with open arms and a robust slate of arts, entertainment, and Jewish life programming. It was so good to see new and familiar faces around our sanctuary!

Sixth & I was proud to provide comfort, inspiration, and connection this year and to find new ways for you to engage in thoughtful dialogue and spiritual experiences. Whether navigating safe and responsible ways to fill our sanctuary during the High Holidays, finding exceptional guest speakers and moderators to share new ideas and perspectives with curious audiences, or remaining nimble and innovative in the face of a changing programming landscape, we pushed ahead and sustained our position at the forefront of cultural and spiritual engagement in Washington, DC.

And your generosity is what makes all of this possible.

It is nearly impossible to capture every touchpoint our community had with us or to share all of the amazing work that our staff, clergy, and board accomplished this year. But we’ve done our best to share some of our greatest highlights from 2022 in this report. We hope that the stories, photographs, and reflections enclosed fill you with a sense of pride and a thirst to learn more. We cannot thank you enough for all that you do to support Sixth & I and look forward to seeing you soon.

Gratefully,

Heather Moran CEO
