Adas on the Airwaves
Pray with us. Learn with us. Connect with us. Online.
Below, you will find a comprehensive collection of upcoming services, classes, and other opportunities to engage remotely. We affirm once again that our unwavering connection to each other is among our greatest blessings at Adas, and is felt just as palpably in our hearts, and even online, as it is in our building. We are each of us, arevim zeh la-zeh, deeply bound, one with the other. Let our robust prayer, learning, social, and programmatic offerings over the airwaves serve as a beacon of hope, connection, and inspiration.

MakomDC Class:
"From Chaos to Order" with Rabbi Holtzblatt
This month, Rabbi Holtzblatt will teach on the topic "From Chaos to Order", exploring primary and secondary texts on the Jewish value of order in the universe. Each session will be devoted to a textual exploration of mystical tradition on living a grounded, connected life. All are welcome to join and each learner will gain new insight that will expand their knowledge and skills.
Hesed Event:
Functional Movement with Daniel Soler
Join Daniel Soler for a two part series on functional movement. Class 1 on February 22, Stress Management: An active approach and Class 2 on March 3, Advancing balance and strength training safely and independently. This webinar will take a look into stress and its effect on the body as well as review a more active approach to stress management focusing on the unique qualities of the individual rather than a catch-all approach.
Hadar In Collaboration w/ Adas
A 3-Part Lecture Series with Rabbi Yitz Greenberg
Join Hadar and Adas Israel for a 3-part lecture series with Rabbi Yitz Greenberg on “The Triumph of Life: An Interpretation of Jewish Religion,” moderated by Rabbi Lauren Holtzblatt, Rabbi Aaron Alexander, and Rabbi Tali Adler. Judaism's central value is life. Explore how this value shapes the Torah's message to transform nature and society in order to sustain life.
JMCW Event:
With Scholar Rabbi Jonathan Slater
We often think of "faith" as trust in something unknowable or unfounded. In fact, it is the foundation of spiritual practice. Join us on Zoom for an evening with JMCW Scholar, Rabbi Jonathan Slater. Rabbi Slater will lead us through practice and the study of a Hasidic text where we will investigate this assertion of faith through our own experiences.
Library Event:
Meet the Author: David
Biespiel
Are we ever done leaving home? In "A Place of Exodus: Home, Memory, and Texas", acclaimed poet and essayist David Biespiel tells the story of his Jewish boyhood in Texas, and muses on the meaning of home, family, and identity. David will discuss his memoir and answer participants' questions.
Hesed and Social Action
Adas Israel invites anyone interested in creating a caring community to become involved in the many activities of the Hesed and Social Action Committees. These committees focus on Acts of Loving Kindness to help meet life challenges among our members and the community.

Tips for Participating
There is a menu of options at the bottom of your screen (if you don't see the menu, just move your cursor to or tap the bottom of your screen, and it will pop up):
- “Mute” - Unless you are the meeting organizer, please mute your microphone; this is especially important when there are multiple participants. You can unmute when called on to make a comment.
- “Stop Video” - This option turns off your webcam. You can still see others, but they cannot see you.
- "Chat" - This opens a panel where you can type a question or make a comment. Within the panel, you will have options for chatting with everyone or selecting a specific participant.
- "Leave Meeting" - When the meeting ends (or when you need to go), click here or simply close the app.
