Stepping Stones is a family shelter that provides emergency shelter for up to six families at one time. \n2. We are also currently holding a canned food drive that will end on April 12th. The food we collect will go to Manna Food Center whose mission is to fight hunger in Montgomery County\, Maryland. \nFighting Food Insecurity is presented by Congregation Or Chadash in partnership with The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington and the generous support of The Sara and Samuel J. Lessans Good Deeds Day Fund.

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.
