Sages

Upcoming     


The Sages group was organized to provide
opportunities for a number of our mature
members (empty-nesters, retired or nearly
retired, grandparents or soon-to-be Bubbies/
Zaidies, etc.) to socialize and in service to the
Havurah and the greater Capitol Hill
community.

We get together every other month on a Saturday
evening for Havdalah to usher out the Shabbos
and enjoy a pot-luck supper.  We also try to take
advantage of cultural events on or around the
Hill.

    THE 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.

    In-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!
