  • What Is Kosher And Why? Exploring Practice and Meaning with the Den Collective

    8215 Old Georgetown Rd Bethesda, MD 20814 , United States

    Join the Den and Rabbi Emmanuel for a relaxed and meaningful Sunday morning in the park with a picnic-style brunch and learning with lots of opportunities for meaningful conversations and connections with fellow community members.

    We'll spread out on blankets, share bagels, coffee, and treats while we dive into questions about keeping kosher. Together we'll explore both the Òwhat'–what's traditionally in, what's traditionally out–and the Òwhy': what deeper meanings and motivations shape the diverse ways people keep kosher today?

    All are welcome–whether you keep kosher, don't, are skeptical, enthusiastic, curious, or questioning–or all of the above! No prior experience necessary. We will gather at a park in DC that is Metro accessible. Exact meet up location will be shared with registrants.
    Minimum Suggested Donation Amt: 18

  • Free Press in a Free Society with Pozez JCC of Northern Virginia

    Give a Hoot Comedy 16143 Shady Grove RD, Gaithersburg, Maryland, United States

    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.

    Once-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.

    Our 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.

    Panelists:
    Marvin Kalb, veteran journalist, author, and Founding Direct

  • Tikkun Leil Shavuot with DC Minyan

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.

    We will provide grape juice and challah rolls so people can make kiddush and hamotzi at the appropriate time. We will also be serving mac Ôn cheese, other cheesy delights, and salad, starting at approximately 9:30 pm. Coffee, tea and ice cre
