  • What Is Kosher And Why? Exploring Practice and Meaning with the Den Collective

    8215 Old Georgetown Rd Bethesda, MD 20814 , United States

    Join the Den and Rabbi Emmanuel for a relaxed and meaningful Sunday morning in the park with a picnic-style brunch and learning with lots of opportunities for meaningful conversations and connections with fellow community members.

    We'll spread out on blankets, share bagels, coffee, and treats while we dive into questions about keeping kosher. Together we'll explore both the Òwhat'–what's traditionally in, what's traditionally out–and the Òwhy': what deeper meanings and motivations shape the diverse ways people keep kosher today?

    All are welcome–whether you keep kosher, don't, are skeptical, enthusiastic, curious, or questioning–or all of the above! No prior experience necessary. We will gather at a park in DC that is Metro accessible. Exact meet up location will be shared with registrants.
