Upcoming events and programs
JOIN THE MISHNAH CLUB
Mazal tov to the DC Minyan Mishnah Club, which will be wrapping up its fourth mesechet, Sanhedrin, at the end of the month. DC Minyan Mishnah Club is hevruta-style learning (partner study) with a fixed set of mishnah to learn every week. You can join with a hevruta or request one to be assigned to you. If you are interested in joining for the next mesechet, please email Daniel Chudnow at chinuch@dcminyan.org.

In addition, we are looking to fill the following positions:
LOOKING FOR SUBCOMMITTEE MEMBERS FOR TWO STRATEGIC PROJECTS
The Strategy and Governance Committee is forming issue-specific subcommittees to tackle two projects:
1) Developing guidance on how DC Minyan makes program hosting and sponsorship decisions, including for Israel and Israeli-Palestinian conflict-related programming;
2) Developing a fundraising plan to support DC Minyan’s growth and expanded programming.
If you are interested in joining one of these subcommittees, please email Rivka Friedman at strategy@dcminyan.org by Monday, August 5.

A good candidate is someone who is excited to recruit and welcome new members to DC Minyan, with a focus on this year’s upcoming membership drive. The subcommittee will have the support of Zach Epstein and the Community Relations Committee. If interested, email Zach at community@dcminyan.org.
The DC Minyan Board would like to thank Jordy Snyder for her time as the membership coordinator up to this point!
