SUMMARY:Workshop on Grief\, Mourning\, and Healing with the New Synagogue Project
DESCRIPTION:Step into the High Holidays with intention. The Jewish month of Elul invites us to slow down and turn inward. This allows us to gently open ourselves to an emotion we often avoid: grief. We are given the spiritual space to sit with grief to experience healthy mourning and comfort.  \n___ September 9 Workshop One will dive into resources to explore the sacred tasks of caring for mourners and end-of-life journeys. The workshop focuses on practical information while giving opportunities to share experiences and feelings of grief in a supportive and safe environment.  \n__ September 16 Workshop Two will utilize the healing and creative process of Huichol yarn art\, accessible to all skill levels\, to process grief in a nonverbal way. There will also be small group conversations on mourning and healing as people work on their art. \nChildcare and a light dinner are provided with prior registration. Attend one or both sessions–each stands on its own while building on shared themes.

SUMMARY:ARHU Dean's Lecture Series with Peter Sagal at The Clarice
DESCRIPTION:Humor\, Hope\, and the Humanities: Why Creativity Matters\nFor more than 25 years\, Peter Sagal has made sense of the news of the day—one laugh at a time—as host of NPR’s popular weekly news quiz “Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!” This fall\, ARHU Dean Stephanie Shonekan sits down with the quick-witted host for a timely and essential conversation. \nDrawing on Sagal’s unique experience interviewing everyone from politicians and comedians to cultural icons\, they’ll explore why boundless creativity matters now more than ever and why humor works with the humanities to generate hope in difficult times. Together\, they’ll examine how creativity\, empathy\, and transformative thinking are absolutely necessary as we all seek to navigate uncertainty and build a meaningful future. \nCo-sponsored by the College of Arts and Humanities and Arts for All. \nDon’t miss this meaningful conversation about why laughter\, creativity\, and critical thinking matter for all of us. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue;Other \nOther Accommodations – Assisted Listening devices \nOrganization: The Clarice \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Mobilize for the Future with Jews United for Justice
DESCRIPTION:Trump’s occupation of DC has been shocking and horrifying – for immigrants\, unhoused people\, youth of color who are brutally targeted by federal agents\, and for everyone in DC who cares about their neighbors and communities. It’s important and urgent to galvanize our community members behind the demands of the moment! That’s why on Sunday\, September 28th\, JUFJ is hosting this community meeting for Jews across the District to: \n– Come together and take stock of the moment we’re in\n– Ground in community\, art and song\n– Discuss our strategies to support our neighbors’ immediate needs\n– Learn about opportunities to take powerful action. \nAs we head into the Jewish New Year we are asked to heed the call to reflect\, repent and renew\, and ultimately turn that call into action. So\, whether you’ve been active with JUFJ for years or you heard about us for the first time last week\, this event is for you. \nLight Kosher vegetarian refreshments will be provided. All ages are welcome; there
