Small Groups, Big Questions

These five-week meetups offer a space to think through life’s big questions using a Jewish framework. Led by Sixth & I’ers in Eckington, Pentagon City, and in Chinatown (at Sixth & I), these salon-style gatherings are a great way to meet new people in a relaxed, laid-back setting.   

You’ll discuss:

• Week 1: Intro
• Week 2: Individuality vs. Communal Belonging 
• Week 3: How do you make big decisions?  
• Week 4: What makes a meaningful friendship? 
• Week 5: How to say goodbye 

Apply for a fall 2026 cohort by September 30.
