Shabbat Dinner
Friday, May 2, 2025
On May 2, 2025, GWUAH hosted a Shabbat dinner with our friends at GW Hillel, with support from the Academic Engagement Network. We had over 30 attendees, which included a mix of GW students, staff, and faculty and some members of their families. Mr. Scott Mory, GW President Granberg's Chief of Staff and a double GW alum, attended as well. Dr. Lisa Schwartz, founder of GWUAH and Adena Kirstein, Executive Director of GW Hillel, provided welcoming remarks, and two students led the dinner with prayers. The shabbat dinner allowed for valuable conversations between students, faculty and staff.
October 8 Viewing and Discussion
Tuesday, September 16, 2025
On September 16th, GWUAH and the GW Interfaith Center hosted accomplished filmmaker Wendy Sachs to speak about and learn from her documentary, October 8. We shared an evening of respectful dialogue among a group of faculty and staff as Wendy told us about her filmmaking process and how the documentary took shape. As the forms of antisemitism in the United States change, it is vital to learn about and fight against its effects at events like these. While we had some disagreements, we were able to share our perspectives and reach an understanding with one another, and we hope that this event will serve as a model as discussions around antisemitism, freedom of speech, and academic spaces become more urgent. We would like to thank Interfaith America and the Academic Engagement Network for making our event possible.
