TSWRJ Play Reading Group
2026-04-20 15:00 - 17:00 | DC
The Playreading Group is calling for Readers for our 2025-26 program. Enthusiasm is the only essential prerequisite. You absolutely do not need a drama background to join in the fun of briefly adopting another persona, and delivering lines — without the stress and effort of memorizing a part or time-consuming rehearsal.
Our group focuses on plays of Jewish interest. This season’s theme is JEWISH LIFE IN THE AMERICAN SOUTH, and the 3 plays we will read are by Jewish men and women.
Schedule of Readings:
• Tuesday, Oct 28, 2025, 3:00-5:00 pm: The Little Foxes by Lillian Hellman (1939)
• Wednesday, Feb 25, 2026, 3:00-5:00 pm: Driving Miss Daisy by Alfred Uhry (1987)
• Monday April 20, 2026, 3:00-5:00 pm: Caroline, or Change by Tony Kushner (2003) (We’ll tackle selections from this musical.)
If you will be able to participate in at least one of the three Readings, please diarize the dates, and register, NOW. Registration: Email Myra Jacobs — myrajacobs@gmail.com.
Cost: $10.00 per person. (covers reproduction costs for a set of copies of the 3 plays)
Pay by check or Venmo to Myra Jacobs who will respond to your registration with payment details. There is no other cost for participation in the Readings. All Temple Sinai members welcome!

Imperiling Our Future: The Trump Assault on the Environment
Professor David M. Uhlmann, Guest Speaker
Since January 2025, the Trump Administration has unleashed a breathtaking attack on environmental protection in the United States. EPA and the Justice Department are no longer doing anything to address climate change or promote environmental justice, and their efforts to hold polluters accountable are virtually non-existent, reversing decades of bipartisan support for environmental enforcement. Communities across America are less protected, and the long-term effects on the environment will be devastating.
As we assess the damage, including the elimination of EPA’s vaunted science office and the hollowing out of the Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division, we face the moral imperative of charting a path forward that reclaims bipartisan support for environmental protection in the United States. We cannot combat climate change and promote a sustainable future only when Democrats hold power; we must find ways to come together once again to protect the environment for future generations.
Join the Temple Sinai DayTimers to hear Professor Uhlmann discuss possible futures for the Environmental Protection Agency and our national efforts to improve our environment. There will be ample opportunity for questions, comments and discussion following his presentation.
