YAWS Meeting
2026-03-19 19:30 - 21:30 | Temple Sinai – 3100 Military Road NW, Washington, DC, United States
We are a group of parents of young adults and teens who are struggling with life. Examples of such difficulties might be: isolation, social difficulties, school avoidance, school failure or other learning differences, vocational struggles, inhibitions around launching and independence or strained relations with friends and family. Many struggle with mental illness, learning disabilities, Asperger’s, substance abuse or autism. Some are undiagnosed, just not living up to society’s expectations.

We meet once a month and support and encourage one another as we look at strategies for helping our young adults. We understand the journey, which has many twists and turns, often not what we expected when thinking about raising a child. We laugh, cry, share resources, and support one another. Occasionally, we have speakers join us and supplement our knowledge of resources available, including housing options, legal remedies, new medications or treatments, etc.

The group meets monthly and is open to anyone interested. All information shared is completely confidential. Should you have any questions, please call the Temple Sinai office at (202) 363-6394.

Reclaiming the Jewish Story From Those Who Blame, Shame, and Try to Erase Us
Join us for Shabbat with author and former White House speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz. Her new book, As a Jew: Reclaiming Our Story from Those Who Blame, Shame, and Try to Erase Us, is an urgent exploration of how antisemitism has shaped Jewish identity and how Jews can reclaim their tradition. She is also the author of Here All Along: Finding Meaning, Spirituality, and a Deeper Connection to Life–in Judaism (After Finally Choosing to Look There).
No registration is required for the Shabbat Service at 6:30 pm, but please register for the dinner that will follow and an opportunity to hear from Sarah about what it means to be Jewish during a time of rising antisemitism and how Jews can live proudly, boldly, and joyfully.

This program is supported by the Rabbi Mindy Portnoy Adult Education Fund in memory of Temple Sinai Rabbi Emerita, Mindy Portnoy.
The Rabbi Mindy Portnoy Adult Education Fund was established by a resolution of the Temple Sinai Board of Trustees to memorialize the impact Rabbi Portnoy had on the Temple Sinai community and her legacy of continuing Jewish education for adults. The fund focuses on providing financial support for educational programming primarily targeted members above the age of 18. This evening’s program was made possible thanks to the generosity of Portnoy Fund donors–if you would like to support additional programs such as this, please consider making a donation to the Portnoy Fund online or by mailing a donation to Temple Sinai.
