Temple Rodef Shalom

2100 Westmoreland Street
Falls Church, VA

Each and every Wednesday, the Women of TRS welcome our own Temple Rodef Shalom members, as well as members of the community (new and experienced players) for some Mahj. We come to play the game, increase our skills, see old friends, and make new ones. We supply the tables and Mah Jongg sets; you need to bring your own Mah Jongg card. We would love for you to become a "regular". No advance registration is required; just show up. Cost is $5 per drop-in session. All proceeds go to charity. This is a major fundraiser for our sisterhood. It also fosters friendship and community. For more information, contact Debbie Droller at 703-790-9635.

WRJ Events

 

Registration for WRJ's 2025 Social Justice Conference is NOW OPEN!

 

Join WRJ in Washington, D.C. on April 4-7, 2025 for a jam-packed conference designed to train you on social justice issues and teach you advocacy skills to use on a local (and federal) level. Conference registration includes attendance to the Women's Empowerment Awards dinner, a day of lobbying at the US Capitol, and the opportunity to come together with Jewish women+ from across North America with a passion for social justice. Scholarships are available (and open!) for attendees. 

 

Can't attend the full conference? Sign up for our Empowerment fly-in package - open to all who align with our mssion, including those who identify as male - which includes advocacy training, attendance to the Women's Empowerment Awards, and lobbying on the Hill.

 

Discounted rates for participants aged 18-36 and delegation rebates (10 or more paying attendees from the same group) remain available.

 

A bonus for individuals in the Mid-Atlantic District is proximity. Most of us can reach the conference location by car or train; some by public transportation. For that reason, we expect a good turnout of women+ from our region. What a wonderful opportunity to connect with WRJ women both near and far.
 
The Full SJC registration includes the following:
  • All (8) meals during the conference: Friday dinner; Saturday breakfast, lunch, and dinner; Sunday breakfast, lunch and dinner; and Monday breakfast.
  • All programming, both pre-SJC (lobbying training on Zoom) and onsite, including workshops, speakers, networking, worship, music, and more.
  • Attendance at the Women’s Empowerment Awards (WEA) dinner event on Sunday night.
  • Pre- and post-SJC access to our private online communications and resource group on Mighty Networks and on our mobile event app.

 

Registration for the conference is still open and closes March 20, 2025.
