SUMMARY:Sinai House 5K
DESCRIPTION:An early morning run through Rock Creek Park for a good cause.  You can choose from a 5K\, a 1-mile fun run\, or a virtual race.  All proceeds from this race will benefit Sinai House in its mission to enable families to move from homelessness to independence by providing safe and affordable housing\, comprehensive social services and financial support. \nFounded in 1992 by members of Temple Sinai\, Sinai House provides fully-furnished apartments to four families at a time. Families live at Sinai House for about two years\, while working to achieve stability and independence. \n[button link=”https://runsignup.com/Race/DC/Washington/sinaihousedc5K” color=”black”] Sign Up[/button]

SUMMARY:Ward 3 Council Candidates Forum on Affordable Housing & Homelessness
DESCRIPTION:WIN (Washington Interfaith Network) Ward 3 Congregations — Temple Sinai\, Adas Israel Congregation\, National United Methodist Church\, Chevy Chase Presbyterian and St. Columba’s Episcopal — are\, together with Friendship Place\, co-sponsoring this Ward 3 Council candidates forum next Wednesday evening May 11! \nWe have a special relationship with Friendship Place\, a premier provider of housing and services to people experiencing homelessness: Sinai members have sat on the Friendship Place board and our own Anne Schwartz sits on its Congregations Committee. All Ward 3 Council candidates (including our own Matthew Frumin) have been invited. Proof of vaccination and masks will be required to attend in person. The sole focus of the May 11 forum will be affordable housing and homelessness\, with an emphasis on challenges specific to Ward 3 and upper NW DC. Rabbi Goldstein will inspire us to act with hope and purpose at the conclusion of the event. Questions for the candidates will have been shared with them in advance. (Spoiler alert: there will be a question about Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis-George’s Green New Deal for Housing Act.) \n[button link=”https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUtdeytqTMqGdR1l9-bxo5826fAiademmg5″ color=”black” newwindow=”yes”] Register for In-person or Virtual[/button] \n  \nQuestions?  Email Kevin Mulshine\, kevin.mulshine@gmail.com or Barbara Kraft\, bjkraft1@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Film Screening - The Levys of Monticello
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello residence stands as a complex and paradoxical symbol of democracy. Designed by Jefferson\, built and tended by enslaved people\, the palatial Virginia plantation was presidential retreat\, retirement home\, and Jefferson’s final resting place. \nAfter it was sold due to mounting debts\, Uriah Phillips Levy—a Jewish naval officer and fervent believer in Jeffersonian ideals—became its unlikely owner\, restoring and saving the estate from ruin with the help of his family. The story behind this national treasure confronts the racism and anti-Semitism that remain part of the national narrative. \nBoth screenings are followed by a conversation with director Steven Pressman. \nPresented in partnership with The Lillian and Albert Small Capital Jewish Museum and The Davis Center for Social Justice at Temple Sinai. \n[button link=”https://www.jxjdc.org/events/levys-of-monticello/” color=”black” newwindow=”yes”] Buy Tickets[/button]

SUMMARY:Beyond the Count: Perspectives & Lived Experiences of Jews of Color
DESCRIPTION:Temple Sinai\, The Davis Center for Social Justice\, and Multiracial Sinai are pleased to announce an upcoming DC area wide in-person presentation of Beyond the Count: Perspectives and Lived Experiences of Jews of Color.

There is no charge for the dinner. Pre-registration is required. \nThanks to the following congregations for their support of this program: Adas Israel Congregation\, Sixth & I\, Temple Emanuel\, Temple Micah\, Temple Shalom\, Washington Hebrew Congregation \n[button link=”https://www.eventbrite.com/e/beyond-the-count-perspectives-and-lived-experiences-of-jews-of-color-registration-307040816347″ color=”black” newwindow=”yes”] Register[/button] \n  \n* This is an in-person program only.

SUMMARY:Summer Reading Book Fair at Browne Education Campus
DESCRIPTION:Have you been wishing you could do something to help the pandemic engendered learning loss in our community? Here’s your chance\, and it will only take a few hours. The Temple Sinai sponsored Book Fair at Browne Education Campus is BACK! The Book Fair provides appealing books for kids to read over the summer to prevent summer reading slide. But that only works if kids choose books they truly want to and are capable of reading. That’s where you come in. Become a Book Guide and help kids select books they’ll be excited to read. No previous experience required. \nUnless the COVID situation dramatically changes\, we will have an in-person event at Browne Education Campus on May 24th\, possibly extended to the 25th. Volunteers will be required to take an on-site Covid test. Males and young people especially welcome. \nEmail Debby Litt at debolitt@icloud.com for more information.
