By Car

Please note that Kesher Israel is in Georgetown, an old historic neighborhood that actually predates the United States' independence from England. The only parking is on the street, and is quite restricted. If you can find a space, it will probably have a two hour limit from 7:00 am until 8:30 pm Monday - Saturday, unless your car has a D.C. Zone 2 residential parking permit. We strongly recommend that you use public transportation, walk, or take a taxi. From Baltimore and points north:

  1. Follow the Baltimore-Washington Parkway (MD 295) south from either I-95 in Baltimore or from the Capital Beltway (I-95/I-495).
  2. At the end of the Parkway, follow the signs onto New York Avenue (US 50) westbound.
  3. Follow New York Avenue. It will bear slightly right and become Mt. Vernon Pl. NW upon crossing 7th St. NW.
  4. Continue straight. Mt. Vernon Pl. NW bears slightly right and becomes Massachusetts Ave. NW upon crossing 9th St. NW.
  5. Continue up Massachusetts Ave. NW to Dupont Circle NW.
  6. Proceed just over half way around Dupont Circle NW to P St. NW (2nd time you will see P St.).
  7. Turn right on P St. NW and proceed to 28th St. NW.
  8. Turn left onto 28th St. NW. Kesher Israel is on your right at the end of the third block.
