SUMMARY:Rozana: Peacebuilding Through Health
DESCRIPTION:Join Greater Washington Partners for Peace for a conversation with Rozana (formerly Project Rozana)\, an international organization that uses healthcare as a bridge between Israelis and Palestinians. Through partnerships with hospitals\, medical professionals\, and community organizations\, Rozana works to improve access to care while fostering relationships across lines of conflict. \nPartners for Peace is a JCRC initiative that highlights individuals and organizations working to advance cooperation\, shared society\, and practical solutions that improve the lives of both Israelis and Palestinians. The series seeks to introduce the Greater Washington Jewish community to efforts that often receive less public attention\, but play an important role in building a more peaceful and secure future. \nRozana CEO Ran Goldstein and Director of International Advocacy Mohammad Asideh will discuss the challenges and opportunities of advancing healthcare cooperation during a time of war and deep division. They will share how Rozana’s work brings together Israeli and Palestinian healthcare professionals\, supports vulnerable communities\, and demonstrates how practical partnerships can create meaningful impact even in the most difficult circumstances.

SUMMARY:Iron Sharpening Iron: The Art of Jewish Disagreement
DESCRIPTION:Jewish tradition holds a long and rich history of sacred disagreement: of questioning\, debating\, challenging\, and refining ideas in the pursuit of deeper understanding. In this gathering\, we’ll explore what Judaism teaches about productive disagreement: the balance between conviction and humility\, the importance of openness and restraint\, and the moments when debate can lose its moral center. \nTogether\, we’ll engage with Jewish wisdom and meaningful conversation around how we navigate differences in our relationships\, communities\, and daily lives. How do we disagree without losing one another? What does it mean to sharpen each other thoughtfully and compassionately\, rather than tear each other down? \nWhether you love spirited discussion or are simply curious about Jewish approaches to dialogue\, disagreement\, and growth\, this gathering offers space for reflection\, learning\, and authentic conversation in community. \nNo experience necessary. Everyone is welcome. This gathering will take place in Silver Spring\, Maryland. Specific location and additional details will be shared with registrants after the registration deadline. \nSign Up by June 24 \nthe Den Collective serves 20s\, 30s\, and 40s throughout the Greater Washington Area.
