SUMMARY:Elul Beit Midrash with Hadar DC\, DC Minyan\, and EDCJCC
DESCRIPTION:I Will Be What I Will Be:  Teshuva\, the New Year\, and Becoming Ourselves \nGod famously reveals Godself to Moshe by the name “ahyeh asher ahyeh\,” meaning I will be what I will be. What does this name of God teach us about God and what might it teach us about our own capacity for change and becoming?   \nIn this special Elul Beit Midrash\, we’ll explore Jewish teachings from Torah to Midrash to Hasidut on teshuva\, our capacity to change and the necessity and challenge of beginning again. This session will include the opportunity to learn all together as well as time spent in havruta (paired learning).   \nThis event is co sponsored by DC Minyan and EDCJCC. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Hadar DC \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Remember & Return: Sarah\, Hannah & the Work of Becoming with the Den Collective
DESCRIPTION:On the first day of Rosh Hashanah\, we encounter two strikingly similar stories: Sarah and Hannah\, two women who move through longing and uncertainty before each is “remembered” by God and becomes a mother. Why do our tradition and our liturgy place these stories at the threshold of a new year? \nJoin Rabbi Anna Wolfe\, the Den’s Community Rabbi\, for an intimate evening of Jewish learning and conversation exploring Sarah and Hannah’s stories as a lens into the deeper work of teshuvah. Together\, we’ll consider Rosh Hashanah as a moment not only of return\, but of creation and re-creation: an invitation to nurture what is emerging within us\, release what has kept us stuck\, and imagine who we are still becoming. \nNo previous text study or Jewish learning experience is needed. Bring your questions\, your curiosity\, and whatever this season is stirring in you. \nThis gathering will take place in Northwest DC. The specific location and additional details will be shared with registrants after the registration deadline. Advance registration is required. \nSign Up by Sep 4 \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: The Den Collective \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Preparing to Let Go: Creative Practice for the New Year with the Den Collective
DESCRIPTION:What are you ready to stop carrying into the year ahead? \nJewish tradition gives us powerful physical rituals for the inner work of the High Holy Days: casting away through Tashlich\, immersing in the waters of the mikvah\, fasting\, and other practices that invite us to mark change not only in our minds\, but with our bodies. Drawing inspiration from these traditions\, we’ll explore what it can mean to intentionally let go. \nJoin Rabbi Anna for a creative and experiential evening of reflection\, release\, and renewal. This gathering takes place during the Aseret Yemei Teshuvah\, the Ten Days of Repentance\, a sacred stretch of time that begins with Rosh Hashanah and leads us toward Yom Kippur. These days invite us to turn inward\, take stock\, and consider what we are ready to change\, release\, and carry forward. \nThrough writing\, drawing\, personal reflection\, and small-group conversation\, we’ll consider the stories\, expectations\, habits\, and narratives we may be ready to release. We’ll close with a shared ritual moment\, giving physical expression to the inner work of making room for what comes next. \nThere is nothing you need to create perfectly\, solve\, or arrive already knowing. Come as you are\, with whatever you are ready to examine\, and perhaps whatever you are finally ready to put down. \nThis gathering will take place outdoors in Northwest DC. The specific location and additional details will be shared with participants after the registration deadline.  \nSign Up by Sep 11 \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: The Den Collective \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Honest to Goodness: A Teshuvah Workshop with Sixth & I
DESCRIPTION:Let’s be real: meaningful\, lasting change requires honest acknowledgment\, not self-punishment. With guest Rabbi Jason Kimelman-Block\, explore the ancient practice of teshuva (return) as a framework for the kind of self-reckoning that actually sticks. \nDrawing on the Jewish ethical practice Mussar\, Chassidic wisdom\, and the surprising story of Yehuda\, you’ll be guided through reflection\, visioning\, and concrete intention-setting across four dimensions of our lives: our relationships\, our bodies\, our spiritual lives\, and our relationship to the planet. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Sixth & I \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Come On In: A Sukkot Art Salon on Belonging with the Den Collective
DESCRIPTION:Where do you feel at home? Who makes you feel welcome\, and how do we create that feeling for others? \nJoin Rabbi Aderet and Den Member and Sacred Facilitator Fellow Heather Brody for a creative evening exploring what it means to be a guest\, welcome others in\, and build the communities that sustain us. Through Jewish texts and the mystical tradition of ushpizin\, the symbolic guests invited into the sukkah\, we’ll consider who helps us feel that we belong and what it takes to build a village today. \nWe’ll bring these ideas to life through conversation and hands-on artmaking with watercolors\, pastels\, collage\, and mixed media\, while enjoying light refreshments and connecting with new and familiar faces. \nNo artistic or Jewish learning experience is needed\, just curiosity and a willingness to explore. Come as you are! \nThis gathering will take place in Bethesda\, MD. The exact address will be shared with registered participants prior to the gathering. \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: The Den Collective \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
