SUMMARY:Evan Gershkovich Book Talk with Peter Baker with Sixth & I
DESCRIPTION:In March 2023\, a year after Russia invaded Ukraine\, Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich met with a source in an empty restaurant 900 miles east of Moscow. Masked agents charged in\, blindfolded Gershkovich\, and dragged him into an unmarked van. The agents were from the FSB\, Putin’s security service\, and the successor to the Soviet-era KGB. Five years earlier\, Gershkovich—whose parents had left the Soviet Union in the 1970s for New Jersey—arrived in Moscow to start his journalism career. \nInterrogated for hours after his arrest\, Gershkovich was charged with spying and thrown in Moscow’s notorious Lefortovo prison—a pawn in a geopolitical chess match. After his world shrunk to a tiny cell\, Gershkovich continued reporting. For the next sixteen months\, he documented a life in Russia that few Westerners will ever experience: its sprawling prison system\, with its own vocabulary and customs—and surprising pockets of humanity. \nIn This Cursed Beautiful Land: A Russian-American Story\, Gershkovich recounts the events leading to his arrest\, his nearly 500 days in Russian prisons\, and the multi-country prisoner swap that freed him. More than a prison memoir\, it’s a chronicle of a misunderstood people and their land. \nGershkovich will be in conversation with Peter Baker\, the chief White House correspondent for The New York Times.\nCost Range: $12 – $175 \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue;ASL Interpretation \n \nOrganization: Politics and Prose \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is

SUMMARY:Farewell to the Sukkah with GatherDC
DESCRIPTION:As the High Holidays come to a close\, we invite you to join GatherDC for one final gathering under the sukkah’s thatched roof. Rooted in the Jewish tradition of bidding farewell to the sukkah\, this is an opportunity to slow down\, savor the moment\, and reflect on what this new Jewish year might bring.\nThrough journaling and art-making\, we’ll explore where we’ve found peace\, protection\, and moments of joy over the past High Holiday season – and what learning we’d like to carry with us into the year ahead.\nWe’ll have the option to shake the Lulav (branches and palm fronds) and Etrog (citron) for the final time during the holiday\, as well as share light snacks and spend time in the shelter of the sukkah as we say “see you next year.”

SUMMARY:Commemorating 3rd Anniversary of 10/7 w/ American Middle East Press Association
DESCRIPTION:For one night only\, The American Middle East Press Association (AMEPA) invites community members to hear Israeli-American\, Gal Bukshpan\, recount his hair raising story of how he and his friends escaped the Nova music festival as Hamas terrorists attacked and rockets flew overhead. To help moderate the evening’s program we will be joined by Harris Faulkner\, 6-time Emmy award-winning news anchor and host of Fox News Channel shows—“The Faulkner Focus” and “Outnumbered” – The program will be taped live and will include a moderated interview with Mr. Bukshpan followed by an audience Q&A and chance to meet Ms. Faulkner.   \nAMEPA rarely opens its press events to non-journalists\, however we believe the event will allow audience members to bear witness and never forget the atrocities that took place on Oct. 7. To help spread the word we are relying on the support of local organizations and would be grateful if you please share the attached invite or photo in an email- blast or newsletter. Also\, please feel free to register! \nWe are excited about our upcoming program and hope you and others will join us for a memorable evening of reflection and remembrance. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue;Post-Event Recording \n \nOrganization: The American Middle East press Association \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

In a world that at times feels too chaotic to comprehend\, how can we continue to create meaningful and joyful experiences?
