You’re invited to join us for a special Shabbat Dinner at Flor, created in partnership with Oneg.
Shabbat is an invitation—to slow down, to gather, and to make space for what matters. This evening is designed to feel just that: unhurried, welcoming, and quietly beautiful.
We’ll light the candles, pour the wine, and share a meal together in community. Whether Shabbat is part of your weekly rhythm or something you’re curious to experience, this evening is open to all.
In collaboration with our friends at Oneg, we’ll also introduce simple, modern ways to bring Shabbat into your life—through thoughtful rituals, tools, and connection.
What’s Included
A thoughtfully prepared Shabbat dinner
Wine and refreshments
A guided, welcoming Shabbat experience
A beautiful, communal table setting
Connection with a warm, like-minded community
Light the candles. Pour the wine. Let the week fall away—we’ll save you a seat at the table.

Finding someone can be painful. But board games are always awesome. So what if you combined board games and searching for a partner?
Searching for a partner can be horrifically painful. But board games are always awesome. So what if you combined board games and finding a partner?
Picture this: You sit down for a night of games. A gaming concierge walks you through several games over the course of the night. You play classics you love and discover brand new games you've never heard of, playing each with a different group of fun singles. All while in a great establishment with plenty of delicious options on tap. At the end of the night, you give your gaming concierge a list of the folks you met that you'd like to date and a list of those you met that you'd like to just hang out with as friends. If any two people put down the same name as each other in either column, then your gaming concierge will make sure you get each other's e-mail address and you can coordinate a time to hang out.
Best case scenario: You find true love, discover some awesome board games, and make some new friends.
Bad case scenario: You accomplish only one of those three things, which is still pretty great.
Worst case scenario: There will be alcohol.
This event is sponsored by Luv With Lev, a DC-area organization dedicated to Jewish matchmaking. It is specifically for Jewish single men & women in their 20s and 30s, but in every other way, it will run the same as our other board game speed dating events. We also have more generalized events, as well as LGBTQIA+ events. And we're hoping to add events to serve even more people in the future!
Before you decide to buy tickets, a few basics we should cover:
1) To stay up-to-date on everything we have going on at Quirk Events, follow us on Instagram here!
2) Refunds are only available to those who cancel with more than 48 hours' notice, in order to make sure we have enough time to find a replacement for you and keep the event well-populated. (Exceptions will be made for emergency situations on a case-by-case basis). After that, we're blowing the money from your ticket sale on something awesome and nonrefundable.
3) If we get to 24 hours before the event and still haven't sold five tickets for each gender, we will cancel the event (and notify you). When we have run this event in the past, tickets have consistently sold very well, so we don't expect this to happen. But we thought we should cover this in case it came up.
4) How many games we have and which ones we use will be based in part on how many people attend, so we can't tell you for sure what we'll have right now. But the goal is for all of them to be fun, light, easy-to-learn games. Selection will include games from both the something-you-have-played-before category and the something-you-haven't-played-before category. The games are also chosen because they often tend to spark conversation and leave room for chatting with new people as you play. All games will be group games, meaning you'll get a chance to meet a handful of people with each new round.
Note: While Dacha Beer Garden is primarily an outdoor venue, this particular event will take place in their indoor private event space. Please note that Dacha does not serve food in this space, so if you'd like to order dinner, we recommend arriving early and getting a bite in their main dining area.

Come explore the ups and downs of Jewish anxiety and how to handle it with some real talk and good vibes.
Feeling anxious lately about the state of the world and being Jewish? It's not all in your head, and you’re not alone. Jewish anxiety is not our fault. It’s an understandable response to fear, uncertainty, and anti-Jewish contempt.
Rabbi Dr. Caryn Aviv, author of Unlearning Jewish Anxiety: How to Live with More Joy and Suffer Less, will lead this course with Rabbi Jenna using neuroscience and Jewish wisdom to offer practical tools for how to spot when we’re in a Jewish anxiety loop and how to respond with better habits. Unlearning Jewish Anxiety explores what anxiety feels like and untangles some common Jewish anxiety habits about our safety, worth, and belonging in this difficult world.
This discussion will help you understand what we face, how we got here, and how we can live more fully in the present moment with awareness, curiosity, and self-compassion, and hopefully, less suffering.
No one will be turned away from any of our classes due to lack of funds. For more information, please contact our Jewish Life Associate, Robyn Fishman
Please note: tickets are non-refundable.
