SUMMARY:Jewish Americans History Tour
DESCRIPTION:Purchase Tickets Here!\n\nMany groups have contributed to building community and culture in Washington\, DC\, including Jewish Americans. Their contributions are as rich and varied as Jewishness itself\, reflecting the centrality of Jewish narratives in the nation’s capital. They worked on Capitol Hill in the halls of Congress\, fighting for justice. They founded community organizations\, helping build the ties that bind Washingtonians. They established businesses\, pursuing the American dream. They worked in the arts and humanities\, helping individuals explore the depths of human expression.\n\n\n\nThese are just some of the Jewish narratives preserved at Historic Congressional Cemetery. Dozens of Jews are interred at Congressional and their stories remain as a testament to the dedication of Jewish Americans to live and thrive in DC. We invite you to take a guided tour that will illuminate this history.\n\n\n\nTickets are only $10 and all proceeds go to benefitting our non-profit mission of historical preservation and education. This is a non-refundable donation.\n\n\n\nPlease come prepared with comfortable and weather-appropriate clothing and shoes\, as the tours often stray from the main paths. Tours are rain or shine. Visitors may meet docents at the front gate of the cemetery located at the corner of E St. and Potomac Ave.\n\nPurchase Tickets Here!

SUMMARY:Pet Loss Cafe
DESCRIPTION:Join us in person at the beautiful Historic Congressional Cemetery for our first Pet Loss Cafe. Whether you are grieving or simply wish to connect with others who understand\, this gathering offers support\, compassion\, and community in a welcoming environment. \nModeled on the concept of death cafes\, this gathering provides a space to talk openly about pet loss and cherished memories. Like traditional death cafes\, this is an informal\, peer-to-peer conversation intended to support those who are grieving\, but it is not a substitute for professional grief therapy. Our hope is that\, through sharing and listening to others who have experienced pet loss\, you will leave feeling more understood\, supported\, and connected. \nParticipants will have the opportunity to meet members of our K9 Corps\, psychotherapist Jessica Kwerel of Pet Loss DC\, Kelly Whittier of the Humane Rescue Alliance\, and our Death Doula in Residence\, Laura Lyster-Mensh. \nRegister below for this first-of-its-kind gathering at the cemetery. The Pet Loss Cafe is free of charge\, and donations are welcome. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/pet-loss-cafe-at-congressional-cemetery-tickets-1983616178387?aff=oddtdtcreator  \nRegistration is required. Participants are welcome to bring photos or mementos to share\, if they wish\, and are kindly asked to respect the privacy of all conversations shared during the gathering. \nPlease no dogs allowed. \nHave questions? Please contact Laura at DeathDoula@congressionalcemetery.org \n\nThis event is SOLD OUT
