Let's sip and safeguard our democracy. Join Moishe House Back Bay and Boston Repair with Nevia Selmon for an Election Protection Happy Hour with Maddie Solomon of A More Perfect Union. As the midterms approach, we'll talk about protecting elections and ballot access beyond voting, supporting election workers, and strengthening our democracy. Over drinks and light bites, we'll look at election protection through the Jewish value of tikkun olam, repairing the world, and think about voting as a civic and Jewish responsibility. You'll leave with a clearer picture of what election protection actually involves, and real ways to make a difference this election season. Bring your energy, your questions, and anyone else in your circle who cares about fair, safe, and accessible elections.

Celebrate New Beginnings, Share Reflection, and Connect with Open Hearts. ​As the autumn season arrives, the Jewish High Holy Days offer rich traditions of renewal, forgiveness, and welcoming the stranger. Whether we look to Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot, or to the values within our own cultures and faiths, these themes unite us as neighbors and human beings. ​Come sit at a shared table as we enjoy dinner and explore three universal experiences of New Beginnings, Reflection and Reconciliation, and Gratitude. This is an interfaith intercultural event to discover shared values across faiths and traditions, inspired by the Jewish High Holidays, yet explicitly inviting ALL! Bring your appetite, your stories, and an open heart.

This is a monthly womens Hafrashat Challah and Shiur program. We will bring together women from the community to braid challot to be distributed to holocaust survivors.

Join Repair the World Detroit and Adamah Detroit for a walk along Belle Isle on Friday, September 25, as we welcome the beauty of early fall and the arrival of Shabbat. We will gather with old friends and new community members, taking in the calming, restorative rhythm of nature together. The walk includes an opening circle, a closing circle, and a brief Jewish teaching connecting our time outside to Jewish values of rest, gratitude, and community. Wear comfortable shoes or boots, bring a full water bottle, and come with an open heart as we prepare to welcome in Shabbat.

Over the past few months, my community has experienced unpredictable weather and drought, which have destroyed many gardens and crops. Because many families depend on agriculture for their food and livelihood, this has created serious food shortages. As Sukkot, a harvest-centered Jewish holiday, approaches, I am organizing volunteers to collect food from families who have enough and are willing to share with those experiencing greater need. On Friday, our volunteers will distribute the food we collect to families and individuals in the community who are experiencing hunger. The program is an opportunity to connect the spirit of Sukkot with caring for our neighbors and ensuring that no one is left without food.

We will be visiting local Holocaust Survivors prior to Sukkot and providing them with Challah.
