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.

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:Labor Seder with Jews United for Justice
DESCRIPTION:Each spring\, the JUFJ community comes together to retell the story of Passover and take action on issues in our region. Passover reminds us that our generation\, like all generations\, has an urgent responsibility to work toward collective liberation right now. \nAs we recall our ancient enslavement under Pharaoh\, we are called to demand liberation from a tyrannical federal government\, from the unspeakable brutality of ICE\, and from so many assaults on our freedoms: Black students who are treated as criminals in school because of their race; Latino construction workers who are kidnapped while at work because of where they were born; people living without a safe home who have their temporary shelter bulldozed by federal and local officials who would simply rather not see them in public. Every one of these people deserves the same dignity and freedom that is offered to the wealthy and the powerful. \nJoin us on Sunday\, March 22 at 3:30 PM for “Until All Of Us Are Free\,” our Labor Seder about democracy\, in Washington\, DC.\nCost Range: $0 – $180 \n \n \nOrganization: Jews United for Justice \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
