12 Jewish Questions October 19 – December 21 Led by Rabbi Aaron Miller & Clergy
Where is God in times of tragedy? What happens after I die? How can you shape the Jewish future? 12 Jewish Questions is a learning community for adults – Jewish and non-Jewish – that draws upon 3,500 years of Jewish wisdom to deeply explore twelve of life’s most essential questions.
Washington Hebrew: The Place My Heart Loves October 19 – November 16 Led by Rabbi Sue Shankman, WHC Archivist Bill Davis, and Past President Hank Levine
As WHC approaches its 175th anniversary, take a journey inside our archives — the documents and turning points that built our Congregation and shaped Washington Hebrew into a leading Reform congregation. Reflect on our history in our nation’s capital and what it means for our future.
Body Politics November 23 – December 21 Led by Rabbi Eliana Fischel
Religious authorities have long twisted holy text to amplify hate, bigotry, and shame. What if there were different ways to look at our bodies and human connection, interpretations steeped in love and compassion, that are equally grounded in Judaism’s ancient canon?
Whether you never had the opportunity growing up, are exploring Judaism later in life, or simply feel the time is finally right, Washington Hebrew Congregation’s Adult B’nei Mitzvah program is for you. Led by Cantor Susan Bortnick and our gifted clergy, this nine-month experience weaves together serious Jewish learning, meaningful worship preparation, and the warmth of a close-knit cohort. You’ll study, practice, celebrate Shabbat together, and ultimately stand on the bimah to become b’nei mitzvah alongside your classmates on May 8, 2027.
This program is open exclusively to WHC members. Space is limited.
