The George Washington University history professor who revealed she had fabricated an Afro-Latina identity will not teach this fall, university officials announced.
The Jewish community will join together for a combined virtual Havdalah and Selichot service at 8:45 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12. This service, which traditionally takes place on the Saturday evening before Rosh Hashanah, marks the official beginning of the Season of Awe and helps individuals spiritually prepare for the High Holy Days. The contemplative service will be led by area clergy and musicians and consists of introspective and inspiring readings, prayers and music.
