  Envisioning Peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians
  July 22, 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
  Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington

  Kol Ami joins with the Jewish Islamic Dialogue Society (JIDS), the Northern Virginia Unitarian Universalists for Justice in the Middle East and Churches for Middle East Peace to jointly sponsor a dialogue on the topic of “Envisioning Peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians.” Rather than having the usual DC panel presentation featuring the usual grey eminences, this event will be a true dialogue, in which as many voices as possible will be given an opportunity to talk about their own personal vision for peace, the basis for that vision, and their prescription for how to get there. We are mindful of the fact that the 22nd falls on Tisha B’av, an annual fast day that commemorates a number of disasters in Jewish history. If you are not fasting, please eat prior to the event, because we will be honoring the fast until the end of the program. We hope that having this event at the close of Tisha B’av is way to remind everyone of the importance of working for peace as way to guard against disasters in the future. We’re in the Activity Room.

• Sat28
  Shabbat service led by Herb Levy
  July 28, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
  Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington

  This Shabbat we’ll celebrate Tu B’Av. Following Tisha B’Av, this little known holiday balances the scales. Its focus is Love. While Love sometimes arrives in the form of a Beshert, a special someone, it has many forms. We love our children, our friends, our pets and our special communities. May you be blessed as you join us in this celebration of Love, and of Shabbat. Please bring a dairy vegetarian dish to share. We’ll be in the Chapel.

  Kol Ami and Growing Jewish Families are sponsoring Sweet Summer, an event meant to connect Jewish families with children between the ages of 18 months and 5 years. We will have ice cream and playtime on the playground! Rabbi Gilah Langner will be reading Jewish themed books to the kids. We’ll be outside in the playground. If it rains, we’ll be inside in a classroom.

  Kabbalat Shabbat led by Mike Jawer and Steve Pershing

  Congregants of all ages – and especially our current and former JCEP students and their families – are invited to this service. We look forward to catching up and ‘shepping nachas’ on all that they’re doing in their lives. Whether it’s a terrific summer camp experience, going off to college, or something else, we’ll join together in prayer and conversation – and dessert after – as the summer winds down. We’ll be in the Chapel.
