SUMMARY:Book Brunch: Jewish Stories in Our Own Words with the EDCJCC
DESCRIPTION:What do a Laotian born refugee\, an Indian culinary creator\, a trans improv artist\, a Jewpanese podcaster\, and a Latinx storyteller have in common? They are all Jewish\, and their unique journeys are part of Hyphen\, a gorgeous comics anthology showcasing extraordinary stories of everyday people. Each story is told in the contributor’s own words and brought to life by international artists\, weaving together ancient traditions\, modern journeys\, and deeply personal experiences. \nThe Jewish people today are more diverse than ever in our history. At the heart of Hyphen is the belief that Jewish identity is not one-size-fits-all. By empowering contributors to tell their own stories\, Hyphen is a powerful celebration of what it means to be Jewish today —amplifying voices that have too often been overlooked. \nJoin us for mimosas\, bagels\, and rich conversation with the book’s creators and two featured storytellers. We’re thrilled to welcome Dubbs Weinblatt\, Eddna Samuel\, Fabrice Sapolsky and Julian Voloj in conversation with Chess Jakobs to share queer\, trans\, Indian\, Algerian\, and Colombian Jewish stories on our stage. \n \n \nOrganization: Edlavitch DCJCC \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Beyond the Outpost: Army Cavalry Officer’s War Diary from Afghanistan w/ NMAJMH
DESCRIPTION:Author Ross Berkoff joins us to discuss his new book Beyond the Outpost: An Army Cavalry Officer’s War Diary on the Frontlines of Afghanistan\, 2003 – 2007. \nIn 2003\, Army Cavalry Officer\, 2nd Lieutenant Ross Berkoff\, led his Scout Platoon from the 10th Mountain Division on more than 10\,000 miles of reconnaissance missions over a nine-month period across the dangerous southern provinces of Kandahar and Helmand—the birthplace of the Taliban. After his transition to Military Intelligence\, Captain Berkoff returned to Afghanistan in 2006\, once again assigned to the 10th Mountain Division’s Light Cavalry. This time\, the Taliban insurgency had escalated in sophistication\, with deadly effectiveness. Beyond the Outpost: An Army Cavalry Officer’s War Diary on the Frontlines of Afghanistan\, 2003 – 2007 is the first and only raw daily chronicle from the perspective of a junior officer covering this delicate and hostile early period of the U.S. Army’s 20-year campaign against the Taliban. \n \n \nOrganization: National Museum of American Jewish Military History \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is

SUMMARY:Storefront Sounds presents The Secret Trio with Temple Micah
DESCRIPTION:THE SECRET TRIO is made up of three astounding musicians\, Ara Dinkjian (oud\, a fretless lute)\, Ismail Lumanovski (clarinet) and Tamer Pınarbaşı (kanun\, a 76-string zither)\, who came together to create a new type of chamber music\, combining the elements of sound\, texture and rhythm with new and interesting approaches to their instruments. They perform original pieces and traditional melodies that fuse the microtonal modes and improvisation of the Middle East\, dance beats of the Balkans\, and elements of jazz\, rock\, classical and world music.  \nThe delicate harmonies\, rapid-fire synchrony and intricate counterpoint developed by a trio of musicians with separate roots in Armenian\, Turkish\, and Macedonian Roma music are extraordinary. By inventing new ways to play percussively on fundamentally melodic instruments\, the ensemble\, full of rhythm and drive\, harmony and counterpoint\, never sounds like only three instruments. \n \n \nOrganization: Temple Micah \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Inventing New Jewish Rituals with Capital Jewish Museum
DESCRIPTION:Explore how Jews have historically innovated rituals and how today’s Jews are inventing new ones with Rabbi Vanessa Ochs\, PhD\, University of Virginia Professor Emeritus. No Jewish ritual was created complete—consider the Passover Seder\, the Jewish wedding ceremony\, and more! Responding to current trends and challenges\, rituals have developed over the centuries\, along a winding path of rabbinical and practitioner debate and conversation. Rabbi Ochs will be in conversation with CJM Director of Curatorial Affairs\, Dr. Sarah Leavitt. Co-Sponsored by the University of Virginia’s Jewish Studies Program. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \nDr. Sarah Leavitt is the Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Capital Jewish Museum.

Her previous exhibitions have covered a range of subjects: from women’s sports\, to the history of the parking garage\, to the border wall between the US and Mexico. Sarah’s publications include several books and articles; some of her favorites cover the history of the pregnancy test\, America’s first successful water-powered cotton spinning mill\, St. Elizabeths mental health hospital\, and the history of domestic advice manuals.

SUMMARY:Interfaith Couples Workshop Begins with Sixth & I
DESCRIPTION:This is a four-week discussion-based course designed for couples in their 20s and early 30s. The workshop is held four to five times throughout the year. This cohort meets on Thursdays\, February 5\, 12\, 19\, and 26 from 6:30 – 8:00 pm. We are also currently running a promotion – Refugee Shabbat and dinner on March 13 will be included for free with this cohort.   \nRabbi Jenna facilitates a guided\, nonjudgmental space for Jews and their non-Jewish partners to talk\, learn\, and grow—together and as individuals.

Couples should make time for an additional hour each week to discuss the case studies with their partners.  \nNo one will be turned away from any of our classes due to lack of funds.

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
