This shabbat, let’s slow down and let the worries of the week drift away with the tide.
Shabbat Shalom!

Americans of all faiths should be able to worship without fear. Yet 2025 was one of the most violent years on record for the Jewish community, with nearly 530 incidents of harassment recorded at synagogues. Tell Congress to help keep all faith communities safe and pass the bipartisan Right to Worship Act!

Hadassah Sharon Chapter
Trip to a Historic Tavern
Monday, August 10 · 11 am
in Financial District, NY, 10004 (Address provided upon registration)

Join us as we explore an important site in American history. This historic tavern served as a hub of patriot activity during the Revolutionary era, where many founding figures and notable supporters gathered to meet and dine. It was here that George Washington delivered an emotional farewell to his officers at the end of the Revolutionary War. In later years, when the young nation established its early seat of government, the tavern went on to serve as the country’s first executive governmental building.

The site is ADA compliant, and equipped with elevators and accessible restrooms to ensure a comfortable visit for all.

Registration: $25
Everyone must RSVP by 8/3 - No Walk-ins (RSVP date is subject to change)
