SUMMARY:Purim & Ayyám-i-Há Masquerade Ball! with Abrahamic House
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Abrahamic House Fellows and community for a masquerade ball to celebrate Purim and Ayyám-i-Há! For both of these holidays\, we give generously to those in need\, share meals with friends\, and celebrate with our communities.  \nDuring Purim\, Jews around the world will retell the Book of Esther\, which celebrates Jewish survival and continuity.

Bahá’ís celebrate Ayyám-i-Há as a time of abundance\, including festivities with friends and family\, gift giving\, acts of charity\, and praying in anticipation of a period of restraint during the ninenteen-day fast. \nThis event will take place on Saturday\, February 28th from 8:00 -11:30PM. \nThe location for this event will be an outside venue in the Shaw area! Details will be provided via email within 72 hours of the event. \n \n \nOrganization: Abrahamic House \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Purim Shabbat - Noticing the Invisible with Am Kolel
DESCRIPTION:The Book of Esther is the only text in our tradition where God’s name never appears. And yet\, Purim is a story overflowing with hidden miracles\, quiet courage\, and meaning that reveals itself only when we pay close attention. On Shabbat—when we are called to make space for the Divine to dwell among us—we’ll sit inside this beautiful contradiction: a holiday where God seems absent\, paired with a day devoted to holiness\, presence\, and rest. \nThis Purim Shabbat\, we invite you to join us in Noticing the Invisible. Together\, we’ll reflect on the people\, stories\, and sacred work in our communities that often go unseen. We are honored to welcome Sharon Murphy from Mary House as our special guest speaker\, who will help us explore what it means to lift up voices on the margins and recognize holiness where we might not always think to look. Through learning\, prayer\, and shared reflection\, we’ll ask: Where is God hiding—and who are we called to truly see? \nCome celebrate Purim\, welcome Shabbat\, and open your eyes to the sacred that has been with us all along. \nCostumes encouraged but not required! This dinner will be catered\, but please bring drinks or desserts to share. \n \n \nOrganization: Am Kolel \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.

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:What's Jewish About Human Rights with the Haberman Institute
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a timely and thought-provoking conversation examining how Jewish wisdom informs a powerful moral vision of human dignity\, equality\, and justice\, and how those ideals are brought to life in the world today. \nOne powerful answer to this question can be found in the work of T’ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights\, itself. Rooted in Torah and Jewish ethical teachings\, T’ruah translates enduring Jewish teachings into meaningful action by empowering rabbis and cantors to serve as moral voices in their communities. In the United States\, this commitment takes shape through advocacy on issues such as democracy and voting rights\, combating antisemitism\, immigration reform\, refugee protection\, worker justice\, prison reform\, and racial justice. \nThis same Jewish commitment to human dignity also guides T’ruah’s work in Israel. There\, T’ruah offers educational programs for American rabbinical students studying in Israel and partners with Israeli organizations such as Rabbis for Human Rights and Breaking the Silence. Together\, they seek a just resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict\, one that upholds full human rights for all Israelis and Palestinians. \nWe invite you to be part of a communal conversation about faith\, ethics\, and the Jewish commitment to human rights. \n \nAccommodations: Post-event Recording \n \nOrganization: The Haberman Institute for Jewish Studies \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is
