SUMMARY:Conspiracy Theories Shabbat with Moishe House Bethesda
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Jewish Conspiracy Theories Shabbat–the Shabbat Òthey’ don’t want you to know about.

Whether you’re Mossad\, AIPAC\, or just here for the matzah balls\, it’s time to laugh about the wild\, weird conspiracies that follow us Jews through history. Dress code: tinfoil hats\, Illuminati robes\, or your favorite shadowy cabal casual. Come for the kugel\, stay for the global weather control summit at the end. Trust no oneÉ except the group chat\, where all major world decisions are made

SUMMARY:Havdallah & Rosh Chodesh Elul with Am Kolel
DESCRIPTION:Havdallah & Rosh Chodesh Elul (Aug 23\, 7pm\, in person): What does it mean to prepare? Themes of the High Holidays.\n—\nElul – the Hebrew month before Rosh HaShanah – is a time for spiritual preparation. We are meant to begin taking an account of our souls\, thinking about the moments we missed the mark\, and how we can do better in the coming year. This year\, we are offering space to start doing this work together. We will discuss themes of the High Holidays\, explore the theological implications of the prayers\, and start our own reflections. It will all culminate on Selichot\, when we will take a look at the confessional prayers as a community. We hope you will join us.\n—\nAm Kolel is a welcoming and diverse Jewish Renewal community located in Montgomery County\, Maryland and serving the Greater Washington\, D.C. metro area. Am Kolel is devoted to the revitalization of the Jewish heritage and the Jewish community\, seeking to discover and rediscover a Judaism that is spiritually and soc

SUMMARY:Textual Audacity: Talmud for the Progressive Soul with Rav Avigayil Halpern
DESCRIPTION:Each class will be a deep dive into one Talmudic text on a topic relevant to Jews engaged with the Left. We’ll use some supplemental materials to inform our reading\, but the core of our study will be the Talmud and its commentaries. Everyone is welcome\, but the target audience is Jewish people seeking spiritual nourishment as we engage in the work of building a better world\, whatever that looks like for you! \nThe class time will be split between chavruta (paired independent study\, with guidance from me) and full-group discussion. My goal is for the full-group discussion to feel exciting\, stimulating\, and accessible to people with a wide range of previous Talmud experience\, whether this is your first time encountering the Talmud or you learn Gemara regularly. I will strive to match chavrutot based on your learning needs and goals\, particularly around preferring to learn in the original language or in translation. Consider inviting a friend who you might like to be your chavruta!  \nT

SUMMARY:Entering the Narrow Space with Am Kolel
DESCRIPTION:Entering the Narrow Space (Sept 4\, 7pm\, in person): Who is the God of the High Holidays? Who have I been and who do I want to be?\n—\nElul – the Hebrew month before Rosh HaShanah – is a time for spiritual preparation.

This year\, we are offering space to start doing this work together. We will discuss themes of the High Holidays\, explore the theological implications of the prayers\, and start our own reflections. It will all culminate on Selichot\, when we will take a look at the confessional prayers as a community. We hope you will join us.\n—\nAm Kolel is a welcoming and diverse Jewish Renewal community located in Montgomery County\, Maryland and serving the Greater Washington\, D.C. metro area.
