SUMMARY:Yom HaShoah Commemoration
DESCRIPTION:The JCRC of Greater Washington considers it our most sacred obligation to host the annual community-wide Yom Ha’Shoah Commemoration in memory of the six million Jews killed during the Holocaust and in honor of the survivors and their family members among us. \nPlease join us Sunday\, April 12 at 1:30 PM in Fairfax\, VA for this poignant and meaningful tribute that brings together the community to reflect and strengthen our resolve at a difficult time of unprecedented antisemitism around the globe. Holocaust survivor Irene Fogel Weiss\, a Northern Virginia resident\, will be our keynote speaker. \nThe exact location will be provided to registrants closer to the event date. \nThis year\, we are pleased to offer a special teen interfaith conversation with Holocaust survivor Peter Feigl\, planned exclusively for Jewish teens AND their non-Jewish peers from around the region. This program\, which will take place from 12:00 PM – 1:15 PM at the same venue as the main commemoration\, promises to be impactful for all participants. Lunch will be provided. RSVP here by Tuesday\, April 7th. \nPlease contact Mandy Book\, Assistant Director of Education Programs and Services\, with any questions or request for accommodations.

SUMMARY:You Didn't Hear This From Me…
DESCRIPTION:This session is a playful deep‑dive into one of humanity’s favorite pastimes: GOSSIP. Inspired by the hit podcast Normal Gossip\, we’ll ask the essential question: How do we balance the joy of storytelling with the responsibility of speech? \nTogether we’ll explore Jewish wisdom\, modern social psychology\, and the cultural roots of gossip. And yes\, we’ll share some “normal” gossip along the way\, reimagining how Jewish texts and tradition can guide us toward gossip that is joyful\, ethical\, and deeply human. \nNo experience necessary. Everyone is welcome. This class will take place in Montgomery County; carpooling from the nearest metro station will be offered to those who need it. Specific location and additional details will be shared with registrants after the registration deadline.
