Keep D.C. Kosher: Chip in for Char Bar's Recovery

Char Bar in Washington, D.C. is an institution, it is a gathering place for Jewish residents and visitors; tourists and politicos. It is the only sit-down Kosher meat restaurant in the area and serves as the backbone of the community. When the COVID-19 crisis hit, the restaurant took a serious blow converting to delivery and take-out orders.

The events of the last week have been another blow to business, with the storefront windows broken, the restaurant has closed until at least the weekend. The windows won't be repaired until after the rioting ends, whenever that is. 

The restaurant business is already difficult and with its small downtown-based community, keeping a Kosher restaurant afloat in the nation's capital has never been easy. The bulk of Char Bar's clientele hasn't been in the city in months and with ongoing concerns over COVID and unrest, its most profitable summer tourism months don't look promising. We need to step up to make sure we have a Kosher establishment in Washington; for future business meetings, vacations, catering events, and more. 

Char Bar has been there for us, let's be there for them. Your donation will go directly to the restaurant's owner to cover shortfalls related to these twin crises. Thank you for your support!
