High Holidays are late this year (October 2-4 for Rosh Hashanah and 11-12 for Yom Kippur) but it’s never too early to square things away with getting your tickets. J-Connect has in depth detail concerning fees, schedules and more for DC and area MD and VA synagogues. Gather The Jews focuses more specifically on young adults, and has links to services and other activities to help this cohort connect.

But the Hebrew calendar this year leaves us with strange gaps in late summer and early fall! The newly minted Edlavitch Jewish Community Center won’t host its annual end-of-year book sale until September 14! 😦 But Zemer Chai has already opened its auditions for the next season! 😀 They’re particularly looking for male singers, fyi.

And the Israeli-American Conference is coming to the Marriot Marquis in Washington September 24-26. Several famous guests, from politicians to journalists, activists and artists, have been confirmed to speak. You can register to attend by clicking here.

The long, humid days of August will recede soon enough, and I’ll be back to highlight some local high holiday classes. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
