SUMMARY:Art Under a Full Moon: Celebrating Tu B’Av with the Den Collective
DESCRIPTION:Tu B’Av\, the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Av\, is often known as the Jewish day of love. Ancient Jewish tradition describes people gathering in borrowed white garments and dancing in the vineyards\, celebrating connection\, possibility\, and joy. \nJoin us for an evening of learning\, creativity\, and reflection as we explore the history\, traditions\, and deeper meanings of Tu B’Av through Jewish text study and conversation. Together\, we’ll consider themes of love\, connection\, hope\, and renewal\, as well as the tradition of increasing Torah study during this season as the nights begin to lengthen. \nFollowing our learning\, we’ll engage in an art-making experience using the Jewish Studio Process\, a creative practice that emphasizes curiosity\, reflection\, and the process of creating rather than the finished product itself. Whether you’re an experienced artist or haven’t picked up a paintbrush in years\, this is an opportunity to explore\, create\, and connect in a supportive community setting. \nCome learn\, create\, and bask in the beautiful light of this special full moon. \nNo experience necessary. Everyone is welcome. This gathering will take place in Northwest DC. Specific location and additional details will be shared with registrants after the registration deadline. \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: The Den Collective \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

We’ll keep the conversation flowing with a selection of kosher wines. \nJazz – It is hard to imagine a warm\, slow summer night without the sultry sounds of jazz. Our musical journey will explore beautiful\, romantic expressions of love from some of the greatest masters of the genre\, including George Gershwin\, Irving Berlin\, Jerome Kern\, Jerry Bock\, Richard Rodgers\, and Cole Porter. \nMusical Guides:\nVladimir Fridman – Guitar & Vocals\nBob Abbott – Contrabass\nChristine Kharazian – Violin \nPoetry & Discussion – From the first moments in the Garden of Eden to the modern verses of Yehuda Amichai\, we will travel through time to read and discuss a broad\, eclectic curation of Jewish love texts—both classical and contemporary. \nYou – Bring an open heart and a desire to unwind. Come ready to relax\, enjoy great music\, and connect with a community of peers as we discover the many dimensions of love this Tu B’Av. \nAdmission: $25 JCC Members / $30 Non-members\nCost Range: $25 – $30 \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: Pozez JCC of Northern Virginia \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
