SUMMARY:Free Press in a Free Society with Pozez JCC of Northern Virginia
DESCRIPTION:A free press is one of the bedrock principles of American democracy. However\, in recent years\, amid extreme polarization\, the media has come under scrutiny for how they deliver the news\, while public figures have demonized the journalism industry and stoked anger among viewers. \nOnce-revered journalists like Murrow\, Cronkite\, Woodward and Bernstein have been replaced in part by a new generation of news professionals who emphasize social media views and sensationalist commentary over accurate and well-sourced information. \nOur distinguished panel of diverse journalists will discuss how we arrived in an era where the weaponization of information has become commonplace in media and the public discourse. We’ll also assess whether the Fourth Estate can still be a beacon of truth in our deeply divided society and what can be done to regain the trust of skeptical consumers. Audience Q&A to follow panel discussion. \nPanelists:\nMarvin Kalb\, veteran journalist\, author\, and Founding Direct

SUMMARY:Tikkun Leil Shavuot with DC Minyan

It is subject to change\, so feel free to check again before chag. \nWhile chag formally begins at sunset\, or 8:28 pm\, on Sunday\, June 1\, the minhag is to not say Maariv or Kiddush before nightfall\, which is at 9:15 pm\, in order to ensure seven complete weeks between Pesach and Shavuot. \nIn light of this\, we will hold Mincha at 8:00 pm\, the first shiur at 8:20 pm\, and Maariv and Kiddush at 9:30 pm. We will continue with shiurim at 10:00 pm\, which will last throughout the night. The doors to Friends will lock at 11:00 pm but can be opened from the inside throughout the night. We will have someone check the door periodically after 11:00 pm. \nWe will provide grape juice and challah rolls so people can make kiddush and hamotzi at the appropriate time.

SUMMARY:Shavuot Festival and Yizkor Service with Washington Hebrew Congregation and 2239
DESCRIPTION:Judaism’s three major pilgrimage festivals–Passover\, Shavuot\, and Sukkot–were times when Israelites traveled to the Temple in Jerusalem to celebrate and worship\, each aligned with a key moment in the agricultural harvest. Though the pilgrimages ended after the Temple’s destruction\, the festivals remain central to Jewish life\, marked today by synagogue services and\, in Israel\, visits to the Western Wall.
