SUMMARY:Preparing to Let Go: Creative Practice for the New Year with the Den Collective
DESCRIPTION:What are you ready to stop carrying into the year ahead? \nJewish tradition gives us powerful physical rituals for the inner work of the High Holy Days: casting away through Tashlich\, immersing in the waters of the mikvah\, fasting\, and other practices that invite us to mark change not only in our minds\, but with our bodies. Drawing inspiration from these traditions\, we’ll explore what it can mean to intentionally let go. \nJoin Rabbi Anna for a creative and experiential evening of reflection\, release\, and renewal. This gathering takes place during the Aseret Yemei Teshuvah\, the Ten Days of Repentance\, a sacred stretch of time that begins with Rosh Hashanah and leads us toward Yom Kippur. These days invite us to turn inward\, take stock\, and consider what we are ready to change\, release\, and carry forward. \nThrough writing\, drawing\, personal reflection\, and small-group conversation\, we’ll consider the stories\, expectations\, habits\, and narratives we may be ready to release. We’ll close with a shared ritual moment\, giving physical expression to the inner work of making room for what comes next. \nThere is nothing you need to create perfectly\, solve\, or arrive already knowing. Come as you are\, with whatever you are ready to examine\, and perhaps whatever you are finally ready to put down. \nThis gathering will take place outdoors in Northwest DC. The specific location and additional details will be shared with participants after the registration deadline.  \nSign Up by Sep 11 \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: The Den Collective \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Remember & Return: Sarah\, Hannah & the Work of Becoming with the Den Collective
DESCRIPTION:On the first day of Rosh Hashanah\, we encounter two strikingly similar stories: Sarah and Hannah\, two women who move through longing and uncertainty before each is “remembered” by God and becomes a mother.

Together\, we’ll consider Rosh Hashanah as a moment not only of return\, but of creation and re-creation: an invitation to nurture what is emerging within us\, release what has kept us stuck\, and imagine who we are still becoming. \nNo previous text study or Jewish learning experience is needed. Bring your questions\, your curiosity\, and whatever this season is stirring in you. \nThis gathering will take place in Northwest DC. The specific location and additional details will be shared with registrants after the registration deadline.

SUMMARY:Authority in Judaism with the Den Collective
DESCRIPTION:In this class\, join us to explore the evolution of authority in Judaism: its enduring centers\, the critiques that have shaped its contours\, and the occasions when it speaks with binding force. We will trace a journey from the absolute rule of biblical kings to the intellectual ‘republic’ of the rabbis\, examining how Jewish tradition built a system where no leader is above the law. By uncovering the Jewish voice of dissent\, from ancient prophets to Talmudic sages\, we will see how our tradition dismantled the concept of the absolute autocrat in favor of a community governed by law and debate. \nNo experience necessary.
