Social and Cultural Programs

Program Committee

The Program Committee plans social and educational events that are of interest to Jewish adults. Activities such as trips to museums in Baltimore and Washington, D.C.; guest speakers on Jewish, secular, political and Israeli topics; and musical concerts are just a few of the entertaining events offered throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees sponsors a yearly gala—an evening social event and fund-raiser. Check out all our upcoming events.

Upcoming events

Knit and Nosh: Experienced and novice knitters and crocheters are welcome for an afternoon of stitching, socializing and noshing February 14 and 21 from 1 to 4 p.m. Join the gathering at any time. This is an informal gathering with some instruction, but this is not a class. For more information, contact Chris Eissenstat at (301) 695-1668.

Casino Night: Save the date! Join us Feb. 18 at 7:30 p.m. for a Las Vegas-style event. Gaming tables—Blackjack, Texas Hold 'Em, Craps, Roulette, Slot Machines—a silent auction and prizes, along with a martini bar, heavy hors d'oeuvres and desserts round out what is sure to be a fun-filled evening. Tickets, which include $10,000 in playing chips, food and two drink tickets, are $40 in advance or $50 at the door. Game table sponsors get free admission tickets.

For more information on volunteering on the committee or becomiing a sponsor, call Ezra Elkon at (703) 472-4441. To purchase tickets, call the Beth Sholom office at (301) 663-3437.
