What you should know about us:
Kehilat Dupont is an independent minyan that has met twice monthly since 2011, drawing a mix of Reconstructionist and Reform backgrounds along with a good number of people who would not describe themselves as either. We have no building and no full-time clergy; we rent space from a church three blocks from the Metro.
We are lay-led by design and intend to stay that way, but we have begun hosting rabbinical and cantorial students for semester-long placements, which has been good for us and, we hope, for them.
