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:The Optimist Movie: An Intergenerational Story of Hope with Trafalgar Releasing
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the DC premiere of THE OPTIMIST — inspired by the true story of Herbert Heller\, a Holocaust survivor who escaped the Auschwitz-Birkenau death march at just 15 years old. \nFor more than 60 years\, Herbert kept his experiences hidden. Then an unexpected bond with a struggling teenager changed everything — and he chose\, at last\, to share his story. \nStarring Stephen Lang (Avatar) and Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade)\, this award-winning film is a moving reflection on memory\, resilience\, and the power of intergenerational connection. It asks what happens when generations truly listen to one another — and how sharing our stories can bring healing and hope. \nWhy this moment matters: 20% of box office proceeds will directly support KAVOD’s Survivors of the Holocaust Emergency Fund\, helping provide dignified care to Holocaust survivors living in poverty today. \nJoin us. Bring a friend. Be part of a night that honors the past\, strengthens the present\, and connects generations. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Trafalgar Releasing \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
