SUMMARY:A Letter to David Documentary Viewing
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker Tom Shoval crafts a personal cinematic letter to David Cunio\, who was abducted by Hamas from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7\, 2023\, and has been held hostage in Gaza ever since. \nTen years ago\, David and his twin brother Eitan starred in Shoval’s award-winning debut feature film Youth (Berlinale 2013)\, which focused on the powerful bond between brothers and\, in a tragic and unimaginable twist of fate\, revolved around a kidnapping. \nThrough unedited behind-the-scenes footage and audition tapes from Youth\, Shoval builds a multi-layered documentary that explores the inexplicable connections between life and cinema\, memory and reality\, and the catastrophic consequences of war. \nA portion of proceeds received by this film will be donated to the Cunio Family\, supporting their ongoing struggle.

SUMMARY:Sukkah of Hope Community Gathering POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:A note from the Hostages and Missing Families Forum: \nThis week\, hostage families and survivors came to Washington\, D.C. to mark two years since the October 7th attacks—two years since their loved ones were taken from them. \nLast night\, we received the news we have all been working for and praying for: a deal has been signed to bring home all 48 hostages. \nWords cannot describe our gratitude\, nor the overwhelming joy and anticipation felt by the families and survivors at this moment. \nThe families and survivors have decided to fly home to Israel to be with their families to anticipate the return of their loved ones. In light of this\, we have decided to postpone tonight’s event and will gather at a later date- to celebrate when they are home. \nThey are coming home. But our mission is not over until every hostage crosses the border into Israel. \nWe look forward to coming together soon in celebration\, resilience\, and community. Thank you so much for standing with us. \nWith gratitude\,\nHostages and Missing Families Forum US \nTwo years after October 7\, the families of the hostages are still waiting. Still hoping. Still holding on. \nOn Thursday\, October 9\, we’ll gather in a Sukkah of Hope—a sacred space of remembrance and resilience— to honor those still missing\, stand with their loved ones\, and affirm that they are not forgotten. \nBring a friend. Bring your heart. Let’s hold hope together. \nRegistration is required. \nFederation is proud to stand in partnership on this effort with the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of Greater Washington\, Adas Israel Congregation\, and American Jewish Committee (AJC).

SUMMARY:Dancin’ In the Streets: A Simchat Torah Celebration
DESCRIPTION:6:00 pm: What Would Bubbe Do? Pop-Up Advice Stand\n6:30 pm: Class with Rabbi Jenna OR Happy Hour\n7:30 pm: Service and dancing \nSimchat Torah\, which means “Rejoicing in Torah\,” is the day when we gather to renew ourselves as we begin the cycle of reading from Genesis once again. Let loose and dance like no one’s watching as you enjoy live music\, themed cocktails and mocktails\, and lively dancing on I Street\, led by Sixth & I’s rabbis and musicians. \nBefore the main event\, choose from taking a class with Rabbi Jenna diving into the holiday and exploring the first few lines of the Torah\, or get social and meet new people at our happy hour. \nIf you’re looking for a more low-key experience\, catch the service live-streamed on the big screen in our social hall. \nClass: Creating Creation\nOn Simchat Torah\, we read the very first lines of Torah\, including the radical Jewish idea that every human being is created in the image of God. But what does that actually mean—for our lives\, our relationships\, and for those who don’t believe in God at all? Explore these big questions and more through a text study with Rabbi Jenna. \nMust be 21+ and present ID to attend. No one will be turned away from any of our programs due to lack of funds.
