On Tisha B’Av (the 9th of the Hebrew month of Av),we observe the tradition of mourning thousands of years of destruction and oppression of our people, from Moses smashing the first two tablets to destruction of both Holy Temples in Jerusalem to subsequent exiles, mass murders, and deportations. Join us Sunday to grieve the broader suffering and destruction around us, through chanting of traditional texts, lifting up demands and voices of those impacted by detention, deportation, imprisonment, and other state violence, and bringing our lamentations to the seats of federal and local power.
Join Hinenu: the Baltimore Justice Shtiebl and Jews United for Justice for a celebration of Tu B'Av that reminds us to show love for our fellow humans through acts of solidarity. Bring a dessert to share, and watch 'Pride' (2014), a heartwarming movie about that time a group of LGBTQ+ people from London started a solidarity organization to support striking miners in Wales during the UK Miners' Strike in the '80s.

Join JUFJ, along with partners Gather DC and OneTable, on an urban farm in Shaw to celebrate the season's bounty with hands-on workshops and a farm-to-Sukkah feast grounded in the themes of the agricultural harvest festival.
Amanda Herring, OneTable's JOFEE fellow, Mollie Sharfman from GatherDC, and Elizabeth Heyman from Jews United for Justice invite you to end your week by taking a pause from the busyness of the city to connect with nature and eat from the harvest at Common Good City Farm. From a pickling lesson to tasting local seasonal ciders, we will come together and celebrate abundance both on the farm and in our lives.
This event is supported by a grant from The Jewish Food Experience, a program of The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington.
This event is targeted to young adults in their 20s and 30s. If the cost is prohibitive, please contact us to discuss discounted tickets.
Join JUFJ activists to observe Sukkot by learning about the housing crisis in our cities and our region. We'll go on a guided tour of the EVICTED exhibit at the National Building Museum together, then discuss the exhibit and what it means to celebrate shelter when so many people can't afford it.
