During the summer of 1960, an extraordinary coalition of Howard University students and white Jewish residents of Bannockburn, Maryland made headlines when they joined to protest exclusionary practices at Glen Echo Amusement Park. The award-winning documentary, Ain`t No Back to a Merry-Go-Round, revisits this little-known Civil Rights story. Refreshments and a talkback with Rabbi Stephanie Alexander and Rev. Nelson B. Rivers, III will follow the screening. For more information contact sbrettfilm@gmail.com

Mitzvah Goreret Mitzvah - One good deed will bring another!
Thanks to those who volunteered for KKBE Mitzvah Day 2025. Together we achieved something truly remarkable, creating blankets, packing meal kits 😋, personalized cheer cards 🌅, baked goods for those in need 🍰, donated blood 🩸, and rehomed dozens of books 📚.
Pirkei Avot inspires us to continue this momentum, reminding us that one mitzvah leads to another — so, what`s next?
