Mosaic will facilitate a narrative collecting throughout the Day of Service\, gathering stories centering justice from throughout the community.

SUMMARY:Jewish Drunk History with Moishe House Bethesda
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for an epic\, hilarious night of Jewish Drunk History. Here’s how it works: before you come\, prepare one true story from Jewish history—it can be something you already know or something you quickly research. We recommend stories that are funny\, strange\, or a little absurd\, but any real story is fair game as long as it involves Judaism or Jewish people. Then come to our house\, where we’ll have snacks and plenty of drinks. We’ll all get progressively drunk and take turns presenting our stories to the group. Accuracy may decline as the night goes on\, but the laughs definitely won’t. \n \n \nOrganization: Moishe House Bethesda \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

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. Eilu v’Eilu offers a warm\, guided space to dive deeply into our own thoughts and beliefs\, to practice articulating ideas that may feel tender or evolving\, and to listen generously to the experiences of others. \nEach session stands on its own\, and you’re warmly invited to join for as many—or as few—as you’d like. \nThese Thursday-evening Zoom gatherings (7:00–8:30 pm) are designed for curiosity\, honesty\, and genuine connection. 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
