WHAT: Join the Edlavitch DCJCC for an exciting new partnership with the Latin American Youth Center (LAYC) and Urban Beet to bring fresh herbs and vegetables to youth at the LAYC Drop-in Center throughout the summer. Urban Beet has put in a brand-new urban garden at the LAYC Drop-in Center and we need volunteers to help maintain it on a weekly basis.
You don’t have to have any gardening experience – just the desire to get your hands in the dirt and help grow some plants! Come down at the end of a long day to relax, unwind, and get closer to Mother Nature. Children of all ages are welcome but must be supervised closely by an adult.
WHEN: We are looking for volunteers on a weekly basis so you can sign up to volunteer once or as many times in a month/over the summer as you would like. We plan to volunteer through the month of October.
Volunteer days will occur every Wednesday from 6:00 – 7:00 PM starting with Wednesday, May 5. After you register, you will receive a google spreadsheet to choose which Wednesdays throughout the month/over the summer you would like to come garden with us.
WHERE: The LAYC Drop-in Center is located in Columbia Heights. The exact address will be provided upon registration.

It’s almost time to celebrate the Jewish holiday of love Tu B’Av! Find your other half (of a bagel), or your B’shert at the largest Jewish speed dating event in the DC area, the 11th annual Lox Meets Bagel!
Join NOVA Tribe, EntryPointDC and nearly 100 Jewish young professionals, for 20’s and 30’s speed dating with a twist. You will be individually matched for mini one-on- one dates and mingle with everyone in the room during our Chance At Romance Search. Register with a friend of the opposite sex and get an extra drink ticket.
This event always sells out in advance!! Make sure to reserve your space as we only have a certain number of male and female spots in order to keep numbers even.
This event will take place outdoors at The Lot, a spacious venue in Arlington a few blocks from the Clarendon metro stop.

A chronicle of the life of saxophonist Ronnie Scott, from poor, Jewish kid growing up in 1940s East End, London, to the owner of the legendary night club, Ronnie’s, one of the most famous jazz clubs in the world.
Glorious clips from performances by jazz greats spanning decades— Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Jimi Hendrix, Oscar Peterson, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughn, Van Morrison, Chet Baker, Sonny Rollins and many more—bring to life this story of a charming, incredibly talented man who secretly wrestled with his own inner demons.
Ronnie’s is a joyous, visually stunning film that seeps through your pores, melts into your bloodstream, and will propel you back to a bygone era that is nothing short of an exhilarating and nostalgic ride.
Based on true events. In an icy cold Europe, the lives of four strangers intersect tragically in this dramatization of the February 2015 terrorist attacks that rocked Copenhagen. With Europe on edge following Al-Qaeda violence in France, a radicalized gunman reigns a night of terror, targeting a cultural center and synagogue.
With gathering dread, the hours prior to the attack are told through the perpetrator’s eyes, and two victims—a Danish filmmaker and a Jewish security officer. Starring Game of Thrones’ Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.
The Edlavitch DCJCC embraces inclusion in all its programs and activities. We welcome and encourage the participation of all people, regardless of their background, sexual orientation, abilities, or religion, including interfaith couples and families.
