SUMMARY:Dating\, Desire\, and the Divine: A Jewish Take on Sex with Sixth & I
DESCRIPTION:Sex isn’t a topic we talk about in public very often\, and even less is said about how it intersects with spirituality. What does Judaism actually say about pleasure? Is sex a spiritual act? How do we navigate ethics in modern relationships—monogamy\, polyamory\, and everything in between? \nDrawing from the Torah\, the Talmud\, and contemporary voices\, Rabbi Jenna is your hookup to all your juiciest questions about hooking up. Explore how Jewish tradition has understood bodies\, desire\, boundaries\, and connection—and where it leaves room for reinterpretation and resistance. This is a space for honest conversation about how we build relationships\, what we want\, what we struggle with\, and what it might mean to bring intention or even holiness into those dynamics. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Sixth & I \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:1st Meeting of Growing with Love: 4 Session Couples Workshop with TRS
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an enriching four-session journey designed for committed\, engaged\, and married partners seeking to deepen their relationship through couples coaching resources with Jewish wisdom and practice. Together we will explore spirituality and personal spiritual experiences\, meaningful Jewish observances in the home\, and the sacred language of covenant — drawing on the wisdom of the ketubah\, b’tzelem Elohim (the belief that each person is created in the Divine image)\, and shalom bayit (peace in the home). \nThrough guided conversation and experiential learning\, couples will strengthen skills in deep listening\, navigating difference\, managing and resolving conflict\, and aligning around finances and tzedakah (sacred giving). The series culminates in a participant-scheduled potluck Shabbat dinner\, offering the opportunity to bring learning into lived practice around the table. \nOpen to committed\, engaged\, and married partners with at least one Jewish partner. Interfaith and LGBTQIA+ couples warmly welcome. Taught by Rabbi JoHanna Potts. \nCost: $72 per couple (scholarships available upon request). \nRabbi JoHanna Potts leads Advancing Wisdom and Education offering learning and worship opportunities\, pastoral support\, and lifecycle officiating in the community. While at the Partnership for Jewish Life and Learning\, she was the COO\, the Executive Director and led the CE21 congregation change initiative. In fact\, organizational change and strategic planning have been both an academic and professional area of interest for over 30 years. She is a certified mediator who strives to build bridges and bring understanding and acceptance where there is conflict. She has served as the education director in both Jewish day and congregation schools supporting faculty\, parents and students in their learning. And Rabbi Potts loves teaching adults\, previously through the Melton program\, and more recently in Adult Bnai Mitzvah programs and the Introduction to Judaism classes. She cherishes all of the lifecycle moments she has guided people through including weddings and funerals. Her passion is to bring enjoyment to Jewish learning with a view towards empowering individuals to create lives of meaning through Judaism. \nIf you have questions\, please reach out to Rabbi Tasman at stasman@templerodefshalom.org . \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: Temple Rodef Shalom \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Autism with a Side of Sushi with Kuri Levine with the Bender JCC

We’ll begin with a sushi lunch\, followed by a meaningful and engaging conversation with Kuri about her book\, parenting experiences\, and lessons she’s learned. \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: Bender JCC of Greater Washington \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Author Talk with Marlene Trestman\, Labor Lawyer with the Capital Jewish Museum
DESCRIPTION:Before there was the Notorious RBG\, there was the Audacious Bessie Margolin (b. 1909-d. 1996). Marlene Trestman\, Margolin’s biographer\, will delve into Margolin’s remarkable life\, her legal career in the nation’s capital\, and the trail she blazed for countless women lawyers. Trestman will be in conversation with Senior Judge Beryl A. Howell\, former Chief Judge\, United States District Court for the District of Columbia. \nThrough a life that spanned the 20th century\, Supreme Court advocate Bessie Margolin shaped modern American labor policy and opened doors for female lawyers in the nation’s highest courts. She rose from humble beginnings in New Orleans’s Jewish orphanage\, where she learned lessons in social justice that shaped her into one of Washington’s most influential attorneys. \nAs a U.S Department of Labor attorney from 1939-1972\, boasting law degrees from Tulane and Yale\, Margolin made her mark on the biggest issues of her day. She was the only woman on the legal team that kept FDR’s New Deal alive; she shepherded new federal laws to prohibit child labor and require minimum wages; and\, after drafting rules for the Nazi war crimes trials following WWII\, argued 24 times at the United States Supreme Court (winning 21 of those cases) to protect American workers. However\, despite her innumerable successes\, her greatest career disappointment was being passed over for a federal judgeship. Regardless\, to this day only seven female lawyers have argued in front of the Supreme Court more times than Margolin. \nIn partnership with the Supreme Court Historical Society  \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \nLawyer-turned-author Marlene Trestman has written two books\, both inspired by personal experience. Orphaned at age 11\, Trestman grew up in New Orleans as a foster care client of the agency that formerly ran the Jewish Orphans’ Home where Bessie Margolin was raised. The two established a close relationship while Trestman attended college and law school\, and later through her legal career. Margolin inspired her future biographer to write this book\, and the first comprehensive history of their shared orphanage. \nA New Orleans native now living in Baltimore\, Trestman has won prizes and grants for her writing from the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the Supreme Court Historical Society\, Hadassah-Brandeis Institute\, the American Jewish Archives\, the Texas Jewish Historical Society\, the Southern Jewish Historical Society\, and the American Jewish Press Association. \nJudge Beryl A. Howell has served on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia since 2011\, including as Chief Judge from 2016 until March 2023. She took senior status in February 2024. Prior to her appointment to the bench\, Judge Howell worked in private practice\, the legal academy\, and in all three branches of the federal government. She served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney and Deputy Chief of the Narcotics Section in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York\, general counsel of the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary\, two terms as a Commissioner on the U.S. Sentencing Commission\, and executive managing director and general counsel of a cybersecurity and digital forensics consulting firm. Judge Howell has been a member of the Judicial Conference of the United States and the Judicial Conference Committees on Information Technology and on Criminal Law. She received her B.A. from Bryn Mawr College and her J.D. from Columbia University School of Law. Like Trestman and Margolin\, Judge Howell spent her formative high school years living in New Orleans.\nCost Range: $5 – $20 \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: Capital Jewish Museum \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is
