SUMMARY:Couples' Shabbat: Cohabitating Jewishly with the Den Collective
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening where couples can come together\, welcome Shabbat with ritual and song\, share a delicious meal\, and explore what it means to build a Jewish home together. \nOur learning for the evening will focus on cohabitating Jewishly—how we navigate rituals\, traditions\, and values as partners; how we learn from each other’s backgrounds and practices; and how we create homes that reflect who we are\, both individually and together. Whether you’re newlyweds or seasoned partners\, there’s so much wisdom to share and learn from one another. \nCome ready to connect (or reconnect!)\, swap stories (and maybe some good advice!)\, and strengthen the community we’ve built together. We invite you to bring a vegetarian potluck dinner item to share\, please let me know of any allergies ahead of time so we can communicate to the entire group. \nNo experience necessary. Everyone is welcome. This gathering will take place in Silver Spring\, MD. Specific meet-up location and additional details will be shared with registrants after the registration deadline.  \nSign Up by May 13 \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: The Den Collective \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Application Deadline for Spring/Summer Cohorts with Stacy's Social Circles
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to officially share the newest initiative this spring/summer through Stacy’s Social Circles: curated Social Circle Cohorts designed to help Jewish young adults in their 20s/30s/40s make meaningful friendships\, connections\, and community in the DC area. \nHOW ARE SOCIAL CIRCLES DIFFERENT?? \n*Intentional Community of others the same age and life stage that will meet every week for 7 weeks as seeing the same people often will encourage forming lasting relationships. \n*Curated itineraries and meaningful conversation when you meet where you can find others that share the same interests\, explore a new skill or DC venue \n*Groups will be formed based on personality and activities YOU like from outdoors to foodies to games to festivals and more \n*Small groups of 6-8 \n*I have the time to curate and do what I enjoy the most MATCH & CONNECT others thoughtfully – no large groups of 30 or wondering if/when others will show up that match your vibe \nReady to meet your new friend group or maybe even someone to date?\n* You can sign up solo\, with a partner\, or friend \nLEARN MORE AND APPLY HERE BY MAY 15:\nhttps://forms.gle/gGFwL2zXcJE7tMqU6\n*Only a limited number of spots are still open for our first set of cohorts\n______________________________________________________________\nAlso if we have not met\, hi\, I’m Stacy. 👋 and would love to get to know you and help get you connected to the community….feel free to reach out.\nAnd if we already know each other — thank you for showing up and for the support over the years 💛 \nI genuinely LOVE building community.\nFor the past 14 years\, I have poured (more than many LARGE glasses of Manischewitz) into creating spaces where Jewish 20s\, 30s\, and 40s could feel welcomed\, connected\, and seen — from founding NOVA Tribe Series to creating Shabbat Clusters 2.0 and Interest Tribes\, and personally matching thousands of people into intentional small-group experiences. \nFun fact: over the years\, 14+ couples have met through communities\, social circles\, and connections I helped create — and even more meaningful friendships have formed. Nothing makes me happier than introducing people who end up becoming important parts of each other’s lives. \nWhat makes Stacy’s Social Circles different is that I deeply believe community should feel intentional\, personal\, and warm. I want people to walk into a room and not feel alone. I want people to be introduced to others they’d genuinely click with. I want people to feel like someone actually thought about where they belong. \nFeel free to email me at Stacy.is.social@gmail.com to get event updates\, or come join one of the upcoming cohorts and events this summer including around interests like mahjong\, singles who love dogs\, shabbat dinners and more.  \nFollow the new instagram that will be launching soon at @stacys_social_circles \n \nAccommodations: Other \nOther Accommodations – Application Please List Needs \nOrganization: Stacy’s Social Circles \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
