Impact: DC Jam 1

Hi Impact DC JAM Followers-

We are busy wrapping up our first week here in DC. This morning, the students returned to their two service sites: Bright Beginnings and The Creative Center for Non Violence. Following service, we headed over to the National Mall to check out the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. It’s been a great, but busy week. The students have all been working on Committees to plan our community Shabbat. Every student has signed up for one of four committee groups: Tefillah (planning our Friday night prayers), Ruach (spirit and songs), Hiddur (building beautification and Shabbat-o-grams), and Oneg /Limmud(fun organized activity and learning sessions). Tomorrow morning we’ll be visited a couple different synagogues in DC and we’ll likely head over to the Lincoln Memorial for Havdallah.

Shabbat Shalom! Natalie
