  • Community Sing and Havdalah with the New Synagogue Project

    Dupont Cirlce - Provided upon registration Provided Upon Registration, Washington, District of Columbia, United States

    Join NSP members for nights of summer song and Havdalah! Successful social movements and strong communities have one thing in common: embracing the soul-nourishing, community-building, and joy-sustaining power of singing together.

    During the heartbreak of this past year, NSP's Singing Team has gathered around a firepit each week to learn and lead new songs and nigunim. Now, we're bringing the community together for TWO "community sings" - public gatherings where people come together to sing collectively, focusing on shared joy, connection, and participation rather than musical perfection - to close out Shabbat and make havdalah together!

    Join us on July 19 and August 16 at 7:30-9:30pm to learn and sing together for our collective renewal and liberation. We'll gather outdoors weather permitting, in Petworth, location to be shared with registrants. Hardbacked chairs will be available.

    On August 16, we will also have a clothing swap led by the Chesed/Community Care team! Do you

  • Echoes of Identity: French Opera and Jewish Life with Pozez JCC of Northern VA

    In Collaboration with Canto Vocal Programs
    Featuring Maurice Lugassy, professor of French culture and Canto Vocal artists

    What can opera tell us about identity, exile, and belonging?
    Join Maurice Lugassy for a thought-provoking musical lecture that explores how Jewish stories, composers, and themes found a place on the grand stage of French opera.

    From the powerful drama of HalŽvy's La Juive, an opera of love, faith, and persecution, to subtle threads of Jewish identity woven into the works of Bizet, Saint-Sa‘ns, and others, this journey uncovers how opera became a space to express both cultural pride and profound struggle.

    Blending history, storytelling, and live musical excerpts, this lecture reveals how Jewish life shaped, and was shaped by, the world of French opera. Whether through bold characters, coded messages, or the complex lives of composers, Jewish voices echoed through the opera houses of France – sometimes in harmony, sometimes in conflict.

During the Nazi occupation, Ruth survived multiple Nazi actions and the liquidation of the Skalat ghetto by hiding in basements, barns, and forests, with the help of courageous non-Jewish rescuers, including the Baranofski and Szewchuk families.

    Most of her family perished, but Ruth escaped with her siblings and members of the Sass family, eventually reaching a displaced persons camp in Italy. Ruth immigrated to the U.S. in 1947, where she built a new life, married fellow survivor Sidney Sass, and later Henry Eisenberg. In 2019, Yad Vashem honored her rescuers as Righteous Among the Nations.
