    An intimate and eye-opening portrait of Latin America's emerging Jewish communities, meet the ordinary people taking extraordinary steps to reclaim a faith that was once stripped away.

  • Reclaiming Citizenship by Descent: Jews on Returning to Europe with TRS

    Congregation Olam Tikvah 3800 Glenbrook Road Fairfax, VA 22031 VA, United States

    Thousands of Jews forced to flee Europe settled in the United States, and now their descendants are looking back. What is tempting Jews to obtain European passports? And what does it mean to return to the countries that persecuted their family members? On the 87th anniversary of Kristallnacht, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Holocaust survivors will share with us their family's Holocaust story and take us on the journey that led to their attaining citizenship by descent in the countries their families narrowly escaped. Meet Anne Hand, author of Austrian Again as well as Temple Rodef Shalom members Renee and Bill Andrews and Melani Spiegel.

    This class meets Wednesdays November 12, 19, and December 3 and 10 from 7:00 - 9:00 pm. Tickets are non-refundable.

    As Israel's war in Gaza continues, many people have found themselves in conversations they don't feel equipped to handle or feel hesitant to engage, at a loss for words, or confused about what to believe. Others find themselves at painful odds with friends and family and feel forced to choose a side.

    In this series–adapted from the Tovanot: Generating Insight and Understanding, Building Community Resilience program–dive deep into the most complex questions related to Israel/Palestine, lean into discomfort, feel more at home in your values, and adopt a more expansive view of the conflict with the goal of building confidence in expressing your positions, especially in polarized environments.
