Simchat Torah Service & Dance Party
Saturday, October 3, 7:00-9:00pm
Join NSP for a Simchat Torah service and dance party with music by our friendly neighborhood anti-facist klezmish band, the Boy-Chiks! Simchat Torah literally means “joy of Torah.” On Simchat Torah we celebrate a year of Torah reading and going back to the beginning of the scroll. It is traditional to march and parade around with the Torah, a practice called hakafot. We look forward to dancing and celebrating with you all (and the Torah)!
Singing Workshop with Lu Coy
Sunday October 4, 3pm
The DMV Jewish Labor Bund, in partnership with the New Synagogue Project and with support from Jewish Voice for Peace – Metro DC, would like to invite you to a group singing workshop hosted by artist Lu Coy! This workshop is a participatory group singing workshop based on Lu’s compilation of stories and songs of recent Ashkenazi and Sephardic ancestors who struggled for freedom. Join us to sing and learn more about this radical chapter of Jewish history. No musical, Yiddish, or Ladino experience needed!
