SUMMARY:Knead to Know: Baking Challah in a Time of Uncertainty with the Den Collective
DESCRIPTION:The world can feel unstable right now\, bursting with disruptions to established systems and leaving us constantly wondering what even the next few weeks will bring. In the midst of this uncertainty\, baking a weekly (or occasional) challah can foster a sense of stability and a connection to something real. \nBut what happens when your challah recipe itself is open to interpretation? \nCome join us to learn how to make challah dough (from scratch)\, read ancient and modern texts\, and  discuss how to adjust to situations where the instructions aren’t clear.  \nYou’ll leave with dough that will rise overnight in the fridge\, that you can braid on your own on Thursday or join the group for an optional Zoom-based braiding session. Ingredients will be provided. \nNo experience necessary. Everyone is welcome. Ingredients will be provided. This gathering will take place in Northwest DC. Specific meet-up location and additional details will be shared with registrants after the registration deadline.  \nSign up by May 1 \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:Erev Shavuot Service with Dairy Oneg with Temple Micah
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, May 21 for a dairy oneg featuring cheesecake bites at 6 p.m.\, followed by our Erev Shavuot service at 6:30 p.m. \nOn Erev Shavuot\, we mark the end of the 49-day Omer count\, and the revelation of the Torah at Mount Sinai. The service includes the ritual reading of the Ten Commandments\, the singing of Hallel\, and reflections from our rabbis. Yizkor will be read. \nThis year especially\, we are drawn to give extra voice to the traditional reading for Shavuot: the Book of Ruth. Ruth is the righteous immigrant and paradigmatic convert\, the outsider who becomes central to the Jewish story. In a time when immigrants are too often met with suspicion rather than welcome\, Ruth’s story asks us to consider what it means to open a community to the stranger. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Temple Micah \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is
