As we celebrate Shavuot—the festival commemorating the giving of Torah at Mount Sinai—join us for a special Shavuot learning exploring what it means to turn towards Judaism in your own way. At Sinai, our ancestors made a collective choice to receive Torah and enter into covenant. Tonight, we’ll reflect on moments of curiosity and connection: the questions that draw us closer, the practices we’re curious about, and the ways we find meaning in Jewish life. We’ll dive into learning and conversation that honors all paths—whether you’re exploring for the first time, returning after time away, or deepening a lifelong connection. In the spirit of Shavuot, we’ll share mac n’ cheese, good conversation, and the warmth of community. Feel free to bring your favorite dessert, though it’s not required. Please share any allergy or dietary restrictions when you sign up so we can create a feast that everyone can enjoy. No experience necessary. Everyone is welcome. This gathering will take place in Silver Spring, MD. Specific meet-up location and additional details will be shared with registrants after the registration deadline. Register by May 15th. the Den Collective serves 20s, 30s, and 40s throughout the Greater Washington Area.

Directly after brunch, you’ll gather with Rabbi Alexandra Stein, Cantor Sydney Michaeli, and the Rodef 2100 board for a short Mincha (afternoon prayer) service to celebrate Shabbat. To make it easy on parents to fully participate (and enjoy uninterrupted, negotiation-free conversation), on-site babysitting will be provided for a nominal additional cost, offering a safe and engaging environment for your little ones while you connect and recharge.

At 6:30 pm and again after the service: Have something to eat (to tide you over or as your dinner), a drink (we offer a full bar, plus non-alcoholic options), and connect with your community. Kids are always welcome, and they’ll be able to eat before (and after) the service, play Connect 4, or create at a coloring table. 7:00 pm – Our Shabbat service begins. After the service – Stay for dessert, or more food and drinks! For our Young Professionals in 2239 (or just those aged 22-39), there is an optional dinner following the service. Special thanks to our musicians who add so much to the service. We wouldn’t have them without the support of the Irene & Abe Pollin Music Program Initiative.
