Guys Night Out & Seder Summit: Ribs, Scotch, Passover Learning and More!
Largest Seder Summit Event in the D.C. Area Hosted by Beth Sholom Congregation
Potomac, Maryland: It’s the best time of year! Not because of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament or MLB Opening Day, but because Beth Sholom, the largest Modern Orthodox Synagogue in the D.C. area, proudly hosts its fourth annual BBQ, Scotch and Seder Summit. The event will take place on Sunday, April 6th, from 6:00 - 9:30 p.m. at Beth Sholom (11825 Seven Locks Rd, Potomac, MD). Over 400 attendees are expected from near and far, as this is the largest event known to get “the guys” ready for seder leading.
This unique "men’s outreach event" reaches across all spectrums of Judaism attracting orthodox, conservative, reform, and unaffiliated Jews. Funds raised from the event will support families who need financial assistance to celebrate Passover. Attendees will also have the opportunity to enjoy Passover insights from Beth Sholom’s recently installed Senior Rabbi, Nissan Antine. Rabbi Antine expresses as he looks forward to leading this event each year, “This is a great event and can be re-created in other Jewish communities across the country.”
The evening features a man’s perfect menu: Kosher BBQ ribs, chicken, fries and scotch. The program will incorporate "speed learning," with a focus on sharing ancient traditions to help make one's Seder more meaningful for all participants. Men will take home pocket-sized materials with key lessons for them to incorporate into their own Seders. There will also be a chance to win raffle prizes, think whiskies and sports memorabilia!
Who are some of the guys you may see at this event? The CEO of the JCC of Greater Washington, President of the JCC of Greater Washington, CEO of the local Jewish Federation, Headmasters of Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School and Melvin J. Berman Hebrew Academy, Executive Directors of University of Maryland Hillel and JCRC, leaders from the Israeli Embassy, AIPAC and World Bank, Rabbis from other local synagogues, community members, friends, fathers, sons and grandsons from across the east coast.
Last year, the Washington Jewish Week stated, "I've been covering Jewish events for well over 30 years, and this was one of the most important, meaningful events I've ever experienced… this was one of the few places I had been where Orthodox, Reform, Conservative, unaffiliated… every type of Jew felt comfortable."
Beth Sholom is one of the most active synagogues providing financial support to families in need during Passover. For more information, or to register for the event, go to: www.bethsholom.org or call 301-279-7010.
