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

SUMMARY:Dancin’ in the Streets: A Simchat Torah Celebration with Sixth & I
DESCRIPTION:6:00 pm: Class with Rabbi Jenna\n6:30 pm: Happy Hour\n7:30 pm: Service and dancing \nSimchat Torah\, which means “Rejoicing in Torah\,” is the day when we gather to renew ourselves as we begin the cycle of reading from Genesis once again.

In a world that at times feels too chaotic to comprehend\, how can we continue to create meaningful and joyful experiences? Explore these big questions and more through a text study with Rabbi Jenna. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue;ASL Interpretation \n \nOrganization: Sixth & I \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Forging a More Perfect Union: American Jews & Democracy w/ Capital Jewish Museum
DESCRIPTION:Journey through the history of American Jewish political activism in the 20th and 21st centuries. \nIn this 250th year since American independence\, Professor Lauren Strauss goes beyond theoretical discussions about the nation’s founding to focus on the many ways that Jewish Americans have engaged politically. From the streets to the courts to Capitol Hill\, Jews in the U.S.—especially in Washington\, DC—have helped to redefine what it means to live in a democracy.  \n  \nPresented in partnership with Moment Magazine. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nLauren Strauss teaches Jewish history and literature at American University in Washington\, DC\, and is Director of Undergraduate Studies for AU’s Jewish Studies Program.  A scholar of American Jewish political and cultural history\, Strauss is completing her book Painting the Town Red: Jewish Visual Artists\, Yiddish Culture\, and Radical Politics in Interwar New York.  Her next book will explore the political activism of DC Jews and the relationship between American Jews and democracy.  She lectures widely\, is a commentator at Jewish cultural events and in the press\, and has served as historian for several museum exhibits.  She is also active in “shared society” groups that focus on Arab-Jewish relations in Israel\, and in Black-Jewish dialogue groups in the DC area.\nCost Range: $5 – $10 \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Capital Jewish Museum \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Certificate Program Begins: American-Israeli Relationship w/ Hudson Institute
DESCRIPTION:Our policy certificate programs aim to give participants practical knowledge of key policy areas. Over four days in Washington\, candidates engage with the theory and practice of politics and wrestle with the complexity of contemporary policy issues.\nRecent trends have made many Americans doubt the contributions of the Jewish faith\, people\, and homeland to liberal democracy\, as well as the importance of a strong American-Israeli alliance to our national security. This program asks whether support for Israel is essential to our national security and liberal democracy more broadly. Seminars take up the Hebrew Bible\, American history\, and IR theory. Finally\, a review of the rationale for Operation Epic Fury is followed by an exercise simulating further crisis in the Middle East. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Hudson Institute Political Studies \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
