Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker

In Conversation with Nicolle Wallace

In I Alone Can Fix It, Pulitzer-Prize winning reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker reveal the Trump presidency’s final year in unprecedented, stunning detail. Focused on Trump and the key players around him—the doctors, generals, senior advisers, and Trump family members— Rucker and Leonnig provide a forensic account of the most devastating year in a presidency like no other.

Morning Intention-Setting and Prayers

Start off the work day with some spiritual work as we come together to connect and reflect. Rabbi Aaron leads a few of the traditional morning prayers, shares a couple of kavvanot (intentions), and leads a short journaling exercise.

All the Feels

Known for being one of the most emotionally intense months of the Hebrew calendar, Av has it all: grief, love, loss, singing, destruction, tears, dancing. Rabbi Nora leads a conversation on the ways in which our emotional spectrum is reflected in the themes of this time of year.

Shabbat: Hit Reset

Blending contemporary and traditional elements, this inclusive service is designed to foster community in a thoughtful, accessible, and radically welcoming setting. Led by Rabbi Nora (for the first time at Sixth & I!) and musicians Aaron Shneyer, Sarah Fredrick, and Jeff Geld.

The Intimacy Experiment

Book Club with Rosie Danan

In The Intimacy Experiment, the rabbi of a failing synagogue joins forces with the founder of a sex-positive startup to host a buzzy seminar about modern intimacy to attract more millennials. It seems like the perfect solution—until they discover their growing attraction to each other and must put their syllabus to the test. Hear from author Rosie Danan, ask her questions, and spend time in breakout groups to reflect on the book’s themes.

Ask Me Anything with Rabbi Nora

Help us welcome Rabbi Nora to Sixth & I at a virtual Q&A. As she settles into her new role on our Jewish Life team, it’s your chance to learn more about her and to ask her all your hard-hitting questions, like her favorite Jewish holiday (how can you choose just one!) or the best place to get a bagel in DC.

Love Unmasked

As single people get vaccinated, many are wondering: is dating life going back to “normal,” or will we integrate the new approaches we’ve explored this past year? With Rabbi Aaron and Lisa Bonos, the dating and relationships writer for The Washington Post, discuss how romantic relationships changed during COVID (for better and for worse) and consider what insights Jewish tradition might offer to help you date more intentionally.
