SUMMARY:D.C. - Navigating Pregnancy Loss and Infertility Through Jewish Wisdom
DESCRIPTION:Join the Den Collective Executive Director Rabbi Aderet Drucker\, At The Well Founder & CEO Sarah Waxman\, and Jewish Fertility Foundation Greater DC Program Manager Shannon Rubin for a gentle evening of listening and tender presence. In this gathering\, we will hold community around the pain\, hope\, and resilience that comes with fertility challenges and pregnancy loss. \nPregnancy loss and infertility are among the most tender\, complex experiences many people face\, yet they are often carried in silence. Judaism\, however\, does not turn away from this pain. Our tradition lifts up the stories of Hannah and Sarah\, honoring their longing\, heartbreak\, and resilience\, and reminding us that  yearning\, grief\, hope\, and healing are all part of a deeply human spiritual journey. \nJoin us for an evening of compassionate community\, gentle ritual\, and Jewish wisdom as we create a brave\, sacred space for anyone navigating these experiences\, either currently or in the past. \nTogether\, we will ground ourselves\, learn from sacred stories\, reflect in small groups\, and explore Jewish healing practices\, including the mikvah\, a ritual bath for reflection and renewal\, as tools for emotional\, spiritual\, and communal support. \nLeave feeling held in deep care\, tenderness\, and belonging. \n* Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the mikvah as a healing practice and may view a mikvah\, but will not immerse during the evening. \nWho This Gathering Is For: \nThis evening is designed for anyone who has experienced pregnancy loss\, infertility\, or related challenges recently or at any point throughout their lives. We welcome people of all identities\, backgrounds\, and levels of Jewish knowledge.
