Join us on the Potomac River for one of our most meaningful annual traditions of the High Holy Day season. During the Ten Days of Repentance between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, Jewish communities around the world observe Tashlich, the ritual of symbolically casting away what no longer serves us as we begin the New Year. Together, we’ll paddle out on the Potomac, where the Den rabbis will guide us through this powerful ritual of reflection, release, and renewal. This gathering will take place in Northwest DC. Kayak booking information and the meeting location will be shared with registrants after the registration deadline. Please note: In accordance with the Den’s security policy, only those who register by Wednesday, September 16 will receive kayak booking information and be able to participate in this gathering. Location details will be shared closer to the event date. Thank you for your understanding. Sign Up by Sep 16 the Den Collective serves 20s, 30s, and 40s throughout the Greater Washington Area.

What are you ready to stop carrying into the year ahead? Jewish 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. Join 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. Through 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. There 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. This gathering will take place outdoors in Northwest DC. The specific location and additional details will be shared with participants after the registration deadline. Sign Up by Sep 11 the Den Collective serves 20s, 30s, and 40s throughout the Greater Washington Area.

Welcome the sweetness of the New Year with an evening of baking, learning, and community! Together we’ll mix, braid, and bake our own challahs while exploring Jewish teachings and engaging in thoughtful conversation inspired by the themes of the High Holy Days. As our loaves rise in the oven, we’ll make space to reflect, connect, and prepare for the year ahead alongside friends old and new. At the end of the evening, you’ll head home with a freshly baked challah to enjoy during Rosh Hashanah… if it makes it home without a few warm bites disappearing first! We’ll gather in Bethesda, MD in a Metro-accessible location. Specific location details will be shared with registrants after the registration deadline.

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. Why do our tradition and our liturgy place these stories at the threshold of a new year? Join Rabbi Anna Wolfe, the Den’s Community Rabbi, for an intimate evening of Jewish learning and conversation exploring Sarah and Hannah’s stories as a lens into the deeper work of teshuvah. 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. No previous text study or Jewish learning experience is needed. Bring your questions, your curiosity, and whatever this season is stirring in you. This gathering will take place in Northwest DC. The specific location and additional details will be shared with registrants after the registration deadline. Advance registration is required.

As we prepare our hearts for the High Holy Days, join us for an evening of music, reflection, and community. Selichot marks the beginning of the spiritual journey into the Jewish New Year. Together, we’ll close out Shabbat with Havdalah before gathering in song, learning the melodies of the season and creating space for reflection, renewal, and connection. Whether these traditions are deeply familiar or entirely new to you, all are welcome to experience this meaningful evening alongside the Den community. This gathering will be held at a centrally-located venue in DC. Location will be shared with registered participants after the registration deadline.
