SUMMARY:A Soulful Evening of Healing & Hope in the Sukkah with Adas Israel Congregation
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Adas Sukkah for a soul and song filled evening prayer experience\, in partnership with the Art Over Hate Collective. We will spend the evening with Guy & Gal Gilboa-Dalal\, immersed in their “Soundtrack to Survival” is a story of survival\, brotherhood\, and music. \nKidnapped on October 7th\, Guy was the last remaining hostage held by Hamas. While Guy was captive\, Gal fought tirelessly for his return. In a particularly upsetting incident\, Guy was led to believe he would be released only to watch others go free. In that moment\, he managed to secretly get a message to his brother about a specific song that was keeping him alive in his darkest hours. Through Healing Ink\, a project of Art Over Hate Collective\, that message was transformed into a tattoo carried on Gal’s body. When Guy was finally released and saw the tattoo\, he broke down\, realizing that the message–and the hope it represented–had made it home. \nThrough prayer (Festival Ma’ariv)\, song (acoustic)\, story\, and meditation\, we will share the energy of brotherly love and the strength of our Adas community. We look forward to welcoming you. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Adas Israel Congregation \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Grief Group with Sixth & I
DESCRIPTION:Have you lost someone? Are you interested in gathering with other Sixth & I’ers to talk about your grief (and the many forms it takes)? Do you want to get together with other people in their 20s and 30s who have also experienced loss and “get it”? Although many in our community have lost a loved one\, grief can be painfully isolating. Grounded in Jewish wisdom\, this monthly gathering is designed to help people process their grief with others in our community. \n*Please note: These groups will not be led by a trained therapist or mental health professional. The groups will be a place for peer support and are not a substitution for therapy or other professional services. Additionally\, filling out this form does not guarantee that you will be matched with a group. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Sixth & I \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Evan Gershkovich Book Talk with Peter Baker with Sixth & I
DESCRIPTION:In March 2023\, a year after Russia invaded Ukraine\, Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich met with a source in an empty restaurant 900 miles east of Moscow. Masked agents charged in\, blindfolded Gershkovich\, and dragged him into an unmarked van. The agents were from the FSB\, Putin’s security service\, and the successor to the Soviet-era KGB. Five years earlier\, Gershkovich—whose parents had left the Soviet Union in the 1970s for New Jersey—arrived in Moscow to start his journalism career. \nInterrogated for hours after his arrest\, Gershkovich was charged with spying and thrown in Moscow’s notorious Lefortovo prison—a pawn in a geopolitical chess match. After his world shrunk to a tiny cell\, Gershkovich continued reporting. For the next sixteen months\, he documented a life in Russia that few Westerners will ever experience: its sprawling prison system\, with its own vocabulary and customs—and surprising pockets of humanity. \nIn This Cursed Beautiful Land: A Russian-American Story\, Gershkovich recounts the events leading to his arrest\, his nearly 500 days in Russian prisons\, and the multi-country prisoner swap that freed him. More than a prison memoir\, it’s a chronicle of a misunderstood people and their land. \nGershkovich will be in conversation with Peter Baker\, the chief White House correspondent for The New York Times.\nCost Range: $12 – $175 \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue;ASL Interpretation \n \nOrganization: Politics and Prose \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is

SUMMARY:Dancin’ in the Streets: A Simchat Torah Celebration with Sixth & I
DESCRIPTION:6:00 pm: Class with Rabbi Jenna\n6:30 pm: Happy Hour\n7:30 pm: Service and dancing \nSimchat Torah\, which means “Rejoicing in Torah\,” is the day when we gather to renew ourselves as we begin the cycle of reading from Genesis once again. Let loose and dance like no one’s watching as you enjoy live music\, themed cocktails and mocktails\, and lively dancing on I Street. \nBefore the main event\, choose from taking a class with Rabbi Jenna diving into the holiday and exploring the first few lines of the Torah\, or get social and meet new people at our happy hour. \nClass: Make it Make Sense \nOn Simchat Torah\, we read the very first lines of Torah and the story of creation – not making something out of nothing but rather creating order out of chaos – tohu va-vohu. In a world that at times feels too chaotic to comprehend\, how can we continue to create meaningful and joyful experiences? Explore these big questions and more through a text study with Rabbi Jenna. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue;ASL Interpretation \n \nOrganization: Sixth & I \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
