SUMMARY:Governor Josh Shapiro with Sixth & I
DESCRIPTION:From an early age\, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro learned the power of showing up\, listening\, and executing to make people’s lives a little better from seeing his parents serve others—his father in the Navy and as the local pediatrician\, and his mother as an educator. \nIn Where We Keep the Light: Stories from a Life of Service\, he shares an intimate account of his family life\, public service\, and personal faith. Reflecting on what he’s learned along the way from knocking on doors\, serving his community\, and tackling the tough issues we face\, Josh Shapiro reminds us that government can be a force for good—and there’s more that unites Americans than divides us. \nGov. Shapiro previously served as Pennsylvania’s Attorney General\, Chair of the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners\, and State Representative.\nCost Range: 12 – 47 \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Sixth & I \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is

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:Staging Change: Race\, Justice\, and Judaism with Sixth & I
DESCRIPTION:In 2025\, Ford’s Theatre commissioned and staged the world premiere of “The American Five\,” written by Sixth & I’er Chess Jakobs\, which was named the #1 show in the region. The play brings to life the relationship between Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. and four of his closest confidants in the days leading up to the March on Washington\, wrestling with questions of race\, power\, faith\, identity\, and solidarity\, including the often-overlooked stories of a Jewish member (Stanley Levison) and a queer member (Bayard Rustin) of Dr. King’s inner circle\, as well as Coretta Scott King and Clarence B. Jones.  \nIn this two part class\, co-led by Chess Jakobs and Rabbi Jenna\, experience live scenes from “The American Five\,” performed by actors\, and place them in conversation with Jewish wisdom\, text\, and tradition. Come to one class or both.  \nJanuary 27 Class\nTikkun olam\, the Jewish call to repair the world\, takes center stage in this text study and discussion. Where does this imperative actually come from? What does it demand of us in practice? And how can this powerful idea be both meaningful and\, at times\, misunderstood or misused?  \nFebruary 17 Class\nExperience a scene from the play that delves into race\, whiteness\, and Jewish identity\, opening space for honest reflection and nuanced conversation.\nCost Range: 18 – 34 \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Sixth & I \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special screening of “The Trouble with Mr. Doodle\,” a 90-minute documentary from the acclaimed makers of “Exit Through the Gift Shop\, Searching for Sugar Man\,” and “Man on Wire.” This intimate film explores the world of Sam Cox—known globally as Mr. Doodle—whose compulsive\, all-consuming drawings transformed him into an international sensation. With social media videos viewed by millions\, Cox’s work reveals the delicate balance between creativity and chaos\, and the profound impact art can have on everyday life. As he navigates fame\, relationships\, and mental health\, Cox and his family learn to embrace his singular vision and the unexpected beauty it brings. \nAfter the film\, stay inspired and get creative with a 30-minute freestyle doodle experience. Grab some markers and draw freely—no pressure\, no rules. Choose a theme if you’d like\, or simply let the chaos lead the way\, just like Mr. Doodle. \nFee: $10 Members/$15 Non-members\nCost Range: 10 – 15 \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Pozez JCC of Northern Virginia \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
