Kabbalat Shabbat and Potluck Dinner
Kabbalat Shabbat and Potluck Dinner
We gather on the third Friday of each month at
6:30 pm at the Lutheran Church of the
Reformation (212 East Capitol Street, NE) to
welcome the Sabbath with a musical, informal
Kabbalat Shabbat service, followed by a dairy or
veggie potluck dinner. For families with kids, we offer pizza and singing beforehand at 6:00 pm.
We provide kiddush wine, challah, and liquid
refreshments.
You can enjoy Rabbi Hannah's Shabbat Divrei Torah here.

SepSeptember 18 , 2020THE BLAST
Friday, Sep 18th 5:00p to 5:05p
We are excited to be a co-sponsor (along with about three dozen other local organizations) of The Blast, an opportunity for the Washington Jewish community to welcome Rosh Hashanah with city-wide shofar blasts. People will blow the shofar from locations around the city at 5:00 pm on September 18th, right before Rosh Hashanah begins. Just walk outside your house with your shofar and sound the shofar as best or as loud as you can! The sound of the shofar will reverberate around the city as we awaken to the coming of a new year, and it will remind us that we are all in this together. Join us as a diverse, pluralistic community of Jews comes together to mark this sacred season. -

SepSeptember 20 , 2020In-Person Tashlich and Shofar Blowing -- Outdoors and Socially Distant
Sunday, Sep 20th 4:30p to 5:00p
We are thrilled to invite you to a socially distant outdoor second day of Rosh Hashanah experience along the Anacostia River. At 4:30 pm, we'll gather on the Kayak Dock in Yards Park for tashlich and the sounding of the shofar. With tashlich, we'll reflect on the pieces of the past year that we want to move forward from, and with the sounding of the shofar we'll reawaken to a new year. (Shofars will be blown from a very far distance from attendees for safety purposes.) For Covid-19 social distancing and contact tracing purposes, pre-registration will be required and a maximum of 20 households will be able to attend. If you register after the first 20 households, Alan Shusterman will notify you that you've been placed on a waiting list. In addition to registering, before you attend this special event you must complete and sign Hill Havurah's online ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY RELATING TO CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19 and carefully read our "In-Person Event Protocols," which must be followed during the event. In an effort to preserve the ecosystem of the Anacostia, we’ll be using dissolvable paper with messages written on it. So, there's no need for you to bring breadcrumbs. (Unless you really want to, which would be fine.) The Kayak Dock is along the Riverwalk close to the 4th street entrance to Yards Park just west of the Navy Yard gates. And it's a short walk from The Yards LOT Q, where you can park for $3.00 per hour on Sundays. The registration page for this event can be found at https://www.hillhavurah.org/form/tashlich.html. If you have any questions, please email Alan at alan.shusterman@hillhavurah.org. Thanks! -
