SUMMARY:Knead to Know: Baking Challah in a Time of Uncertainty with the Den Collective
DESCRIPTION:The world can feel unstable right now\, bursting with disruptions to established systems and leaving us constantly wondering what even the next few weeks will bring.

Ingredients will be provided. \nNo experience necessary. Everyone is welcome. Ingredients will be provided. This gathering will take place in Northwest DC.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Noa Tishby with Washington Hebrew Congregation
DESCRIPTION:Noa Tishby is a two-time New York Times best-selling author and Israel’s former Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism and Delegitimization. Washington Hebrew Congregation is proud to welcome her for this special conversation. \nTishby will engage in a wide-ranging and deeply personal conversation that weaves together Israeli history\, Zionism\, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with an unflinching look at how antisemitism shows up today — in media\, pop culture\, politics\, and online spaces. Drawing on her experience in Hollywood and global media\, she’ll unpack how narratives about Israel spread\, why complex realities are often flattened into slogans\, and how misinformation gains traction. Tishby will also reflect on Jewish identity beyond Israel\, generational shifts within the Jewish community\, and the tensions between cultural connection and politics. Throughout\, she’ll share practical insights on advocacy — how to speak up in polarized environments\, handle backlash and online hate\, and navigate visibility\, criticism\, and leadership as a woman in male-dominated industries.\nCost Range: $18 – $173 \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue;Sensory Room Available \n \nOrganization: Washington Hebrew Congregation \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. 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:First Meeting of Tuesday / Thursday Community Circle with IfNotNow
DESCRIPTION:IfNotNow is excited to invite you to participate in our Community Circles Program.  \nWhat are Community Circles? In a painful and uncertain moment — amid the devastation in Gaza and rising authoritarianism at home — Community Circles offer a small\, supportive space for Jews to come together. Community Circles are small groups of 6-8 people who will gather for five sessions this spring and summer. Through relationships and learning\, we’ll deepen our understanding of how to move forward with integrity\, courage\, and care.  \nEach Community Circle will be led by 1-2 facilitators\, supported by IfNotNow. Through learning and honest discussion\, we will:\n– Session 1 (5/12): Share our own stories and build community and relationships around shared experiences\, as well as difference\n– Session 2 (5/26): Reflect on antisemitism and inherited trauma\n– Session 3 (6/11): Learn about anti-Palestinian racism and explore our own biases\n– Session 4 (6/25): Engage with Palestinian narratives and histories\n– Session 5 (7/7): Explore what we can do as Jews to fight for a better and more equitable future  \nWe intend to create an open and welcoming space grounded in care and mutual respect.

SUMMARY:JGSGW Database 101: Because Google Can’t Do This with Jewish Genealogy Society
DESCRIPTION:Speaker Harry Moatz created a Jewish genealogy database available to only members of the JGSGW\, which he will be guiding us through. The database contains resources for over 150 countries and regions\, as well as more that 50 topics including towns/shtetl\, metric\, tax\, voter and revision lists\, censuses\, police files\, conscription\, military records\, cemeteries\, etc. \nThis one-hour program\, conducted over Zoom at 1:30 PM Eastern Time\, is free for members. This is one of the many activities that is a benefit of JGSGW membership. \nHarry Moatz: Retired attorney\, from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office several years ago where he was the Director of Enrollment and Discipline\, after serving as an Associate Solicitor and Primary Patent Examiner. His former career served him well for genealogical research. Always having had an interest in the origins of his family in what is now Ukraine\, Belarus\, England\, Sweden\, Scandinavia and Hungary\, he began his search over a decade ago for the facts behind family lore. His family tree now includes more than 7000 sourced individuals and multiple family lines. He learned the towns from which his grandparents emigrated\, discovered that his paternal grandparents had siblings\, found their descendants\, found his paternal great grandfather may have had at least three wives\, and developed the family lines of the machatunim. He has made numerous genealogy presentations and is a member of or subscribes to several genealogy organizations and Facebook groups. He is the President of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Washington.\nCost Range: $0 – $10 \n \n \nOrganization: Jewish Genealogy Society of Greater Washington \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is
