Come celebrate Israel's Independence Day at Fairfax Corner (off Monument Drive) from 1-5 pm on Sunday May 2. There will be food, entertainment, face painting, and dancing, among other fun activities. There will be performances at 2 and 3:45 and perhaps a few others, too. It should be fun for all ages. Let's hope the weather is nice.
We may not be there - there's this upcoming birth to think about! Maybe it'll be the baby's first outing, who knows?

The Washington Nationals Jewish Community Day - April 18
I will admit that we used to attend a lot more baseball games than we do now (in fact, we were married after batting practice and before a Bowie Baysox game at PG Stadium - see here for photos), but we still love them! So I was excited to come across information about this coming Sunday's Nats game. It's Jewish Community Day at the ballpark. Here's how the website describes it:
"Working with the American Friends of Lubavitch, The Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington and The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington, the Nationals are able to offer Upper Right Field Terrace Seats for $7, Scoreboard Pavilion Seats for $18, Mezzanine Seats for $25 and LF/RF Corner Seats for $36. For Jewish Community Day, tickets in most areas are being offered at discounted prices. These seats will be reserved through April 17th... so make sure to get them soon! Game time is 1:35 p.m., but be sure to stop by the Nationals Park Kosher Stand pregame to enjoy specially prepared Jewish cuisine."
Get out your Nats jerseys (you have one, right?), wear your baseball caps with "Nationals" in Hebrew (yeah, I have one!), and dig out your sunscreen. Hop on the metro and enjoy the game!

Annual NoVa International Jewish Film Festival
In just a few weeks (April 22), the Jewish Film Festival will kick off. You can now find information on theaters, films, and the schedule on the JCC's website. Check out the descriptions - while none are right for the littlest set, you may find that taking your teen to a movie would be perfect. In fact, this reminds me of seeing The Chosen with my mom. Honestly, I think I remembered little of it but it did prompt me to read the book some time later.
