Temple Beth Ami

Please join us on Mondays from 1 - 3 pm when the temple is open for a fun afternoon of Mah Jongg. All players are welcome from beginners to experts. Please note this is not a teaching class. There is no cost to participate. For more information, contact Rachel at rmaryn@verizon.net. 

Temple Rodef Shalom

2100 Westmoreland Street
Falls Church, VA

Each and every Wednesday, the Women of TRS welcome our own Temple Rodef Shalom members, as well as members of the community (new and experienced players) for some Mahj. We come to play the game, increase our skills, see old friends, and make new ones. We supply the tables and Mah Jongg sets; you need to bring your own Mah Jongg card. We would love for you to become a "regular". No advance registration is required; just show up. Cost is $5 per drop-in session. All proceeds go to charity. This is a major fundraiser for our sisterhood. It also fosters friendship and community. For more information, contact Debbie Droller at 703-790-9635.

WRJ and the Mid-Atlantic District are committed to Social Justice. It stands proudly beside our tenets of Sisterhood and Spirituality. Please save the date to join WRJ women from around North America and the globe as we come together for our second gathering dedicated to social justice, the Marla J. Feldman Social Justice Conference, scheduled to take place in Washington, DC, April 4-7, 2025. It is exciting to be able to attend a large WRJ gathering within our district’s borders, and we hope to have a large contingency turnout. Stay tuned; more information will be coming later this year!
