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.
