SUMMARY:Chavruta Circle Federal Workers with Rodef 2100
DESCRIPTION:Rodef 2100 is kicking off a new initiative called Chavruta Circles to help people meet others with shared experiences and interests\, deepening connection and belonging within our community. Inspired by the Jewish tradition of chavruta—learning and discovering in partnership—each circle offers a space for meaningful conversation\, friendship\, and community building. Each month will feature a new theme—if it resonates with you\, join that circle and meet others who feel the same!\nWe will kick off Chavruta Circles on December 11\, with the first being for former or current public service professionals. With shifting policies\, job changes\, and layoffs making the future feel uncertain\, it can be challenging to find space to process what this means for us personally and professionally. Join other Jewish adults in their 20s and 30s to bond over shared thoughts\, feelings\, and strategies for resilience. Location will be shared upon registration. \n \n \nOrganization: Rodef 2100 \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Celebrate Chanukah with New Synagogue Project
DESCRIPTION:Chassidic thinkers say that on Chanukah\, when we light the candles\, we are re-lighting our neshamot (our souls). In a challenging time like we’re in now\, there’s a risk of our internal lights\, our souls\, getting dim. The primary job of our community is to rekindle our lights for one another and make sure our souls continue to burn brightly. \nNSP’s Annual Chanukah Party will be an all-ages\, fun-filled afternoon of connecting in community. We invite everyone to bring their own menorah to light together\, and display in our community menorah room\, where we’ll learn about each menorah’s history and other community or family Chanukah traditions! This year we’ll also have a new addition: a tater tot bar! Whether you’re bringing your family\, coming solo\, or joining with friends\, join us to craft\, learn\, play dreidel\, and enjoy performances to mark this joyful holiday. \nDATE: Sunday\, December 14\nTIME: 3:00-6:00pm\nLOCATION: We will meet at a church at 4704 13th St. NW in Petworth\, DC. This event will include both indoor and outdoor spaces for attendees to utilize. \nQuestions\, comments\, or feedback? Contact our Holiday Lead\, Julie Margolies\, at holiday@newsynagogueproject.org. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue;ASL Interpretation \n \nOrganization: New Synagogue Project \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
