Calendar

The Capital Jewish Museum will lead us on a tour of their new location, around downtown Jewish DC, and an outdoor exhibit featuring 5 unique sukkahs located at the National Building Museum. Following our tour, we will head to the outside courtyard at Dirty Habit for drinks and food as weather allows.

For those in their 20s and 30s – limited number of tickets available!

If you’ve been looking to learn and practice sign language, this is the class for you! You will be introduced to finger spelling, Deaf culture, and common signs that will help you communicate with both friends and strangers. Our interactive classes will feature guest speakers, games and songs, and Zoom breakout rooms will be used to practice what you’ve learned with others at the same skill level.
