SUMMARY:Authority in Judaism with the Den Collective
DESCRIPTION:In this class\, join us to explore the evolution of authority in Judaism: its enduring centers\, the critiques that have shaped its contours\, and the occasions when it speaks with binding force. We will trace a journey from the absolute rule of biblical kings to the intellectual ‘republic’ of the rabbis\, examining how Jewish tradition built a system where no leader is above the law. By uncovering the Jewish voice of dissent\, from ancient prophets to Talmudic sages\, we will see how our tradition dismantled the concept of the absolute autocrat in favor of a community governed by law and debate. \nNo experience necessary. Everyone is welcome. This gathering will take place in Silver Spring\, MD. Specific meet-up location and additional details will be shared with registrants after the registration deadline.  \nSign Up by Apr. 30 \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: The Den Collective \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Knead to Know: Baking Challah in a Time of Uncertainty with the Den Collective
DESCRIPTION:The world can feel unstable right now\, bursting with disruptions to established systems and leaving us constantly wondering what even the next few weeks will bring.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Noa Tishby with Washington Hebrew Congregation
DESCRIPTION:Noa Tishby is a two-time New York Times best-selling author and Israel’s former Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism and Delegitimization. Washington Hebrew Congregation is proud to welcome her for this special conversation. \nTishby will engage in a wide-ranging and deeply personal conversation that weaves together Israeli history\, Zionism\, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with an unflinching look at how antisemitism shows up today — in media\, pop culture\, politics\, and online spaces. Drawing on her experience in Hollywood and global media\, she’ll unpack how narratives about Israel spread\, why complex realities are often flattened into slogans\, and how misinformation gains traction. Tishby will also reflect on Jewish identity beyond Israel\, generational shifts within the Jewish community\, and the tensions between cultural connection and politics. Throughout\, she’ll share practical insights on advocacy — how to speak up in polarized environments\, handle backlash and online hate\, and navigate visibility\, criticism\, and leadership as a woman in male-dominated industries.\nCost Range: $18 – $173 \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue;Sensory Room Available \n \nOrganization: Washington Hebrew Congregation \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Eilu v'Eilu: An Open Reflection Project with Am Kolel
DESCRIPTION:This gentle\, conversation-based program creates space for us to explore some of the most meaningful\, complicated\, and personal aspects of Jewish life. \nMany of the topics we’ll be discussing—God\, prayer\, Israel\, identity\, mortality\, and more—can be challenging to talk about\, even with people we know well. Eilu v’Eilu offers a warm\, guided space to dive deeply into our own thoughts and beliefs\, to practice articulating ideas that may feel tender or evolving\, and to listen generously to the experiences of others. \nEach session stands on its own\, and you’re warmly invited to join for as many—or as few—as you’d like. \nThese Thursday-evening Zoom gatherings (7:00–8:30 pm) are designed for curiosity\, honesty\, and genuine connection. There are no “right answers” to arrive at—just opportunities to reflect\, ask\, listen\, and share. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Am Kolel \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is

SUMMARY:Shavuot Dinner & Learning with Am Kolel
DESCRIPTION:Join Am Kolel for a meaningful Shavuot evening of learning\, music\, and community. We will share in a catered dairy dinner\, continue with communal music\, and then learn with Rabbi Miriam\, Reb David\, Cherie Brown\, and Danny Siegel. \n6:00–7:30 pm — Welcome and Dinner\n7:30–7:50 pm — Music\n8:00-9:00 pm — Session I with Danny Siegel and Cherie Brown\n9:05–10:05 pm — Session II with Cherie Brown\, Reb David\, and Rabbi Miriam\n10:05–10:15 pm — Closing \nTools for Effective Dialogue: Learn how to handle difficult people and stay in dialogue!

Together\, we’ll ask a central question: if revelation continues after Sinai\, what counts as revelation today? \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: Am Kolel \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Sips and Shavuot: Religion\, Mental Health\, and Healing with Abrahamic House
DESCRIPTION:Shavuot\, a Jewish holiday celebrated seven weeks after Passover\, commemorates the moment the Israelites stood at the base of Mount Sinai to receive the Torah Historically\, it also celebrated the Yom HaBikkurim\, or the day of “first fruits\,” of the spring harvest\, a time of physical and spiritual abundance. \nIn Jewish tradition\, we honor the revealing of the Torah through Tikkun Leil Shavuot\, a custom of staying up through the night to study. We dive deep into complex texts\, share dairy-rich treats like cheesecake\, and lean into the idea that learning is a lifelong journey. \nThis Shavuot\, we are moving beyond the traditional text study and exploring an important kind of revelation: our own minds. Just as the Torah provides a blueprint for a just society\, understanding our mental health and well-being provides the blueprint for a resilient life. Join us as we welcome Georgetown Professor Elizabeth Antus to bridge the gap between faith\, mental health\, healing\, and suffering\, with a lecture titled\, “The Spiritual Dimensions of Mental Health Suffering & Healing: Christian and Buddhist Perspectives.” \nThis event will take place on Thursday\, May 21\, at 7:00PM. \nLocation details will be provided via email within 72 hours of the event. \nViews expressed by guest lecturers are their own and do not necessarily reflect the official position or endorsements of Abrahamic House. \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: Abrahamic House \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Dating\, Desire\, and the Divine: A Jewish Take on Sex with Sixth & I
DESCRIPTION:Sex isn’t a topic we talk about in public very often\, and even less is said about how it intersects with spirituality. What does Judaism actually say about pleasure? Is sex a spiritual act? How do we navigate ethics in modern relationships—monogamy\, polyamory\, and everything in between? \nDrawing from the Torah\, the Talmud\, and contemporary voices\, Rabbi Jenna is your hookup to all your juiciest questions about hooking up. Explore how Jewish tradition has understood bodies\, desire\, boundaries\, and connection—and where it leaves room for reinterpretation and resistance. This is a space for honest conversation about how we build relationships\, what we want\, what we struggle with\, and what it might mean to bring intention or even holiness into those dynamics. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Sixth & I \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
