For the night after Chanukah, DC’s Cross River Dialogue encourages focusing on “helpers” in honor of the ninth candle.
Cross River Dialogue invites all to use the festival of Chanukah, Dec. 10-18, to explore dedication and light in DC.
Cross River Dialogue members are involved in many advocacy and community-building efforts, locally and nationally. CRD-1 members support one another in our varied and sometimes overlapping work. Not all of us advocate or organize in the same way or on the same side of every issue, however. The Member Activities page highlights a few member activities/organizations which have not generated controversy among us as well as some of the many media and artistic endeavors of CRD-1 members. Cross River Struggles shares some of the activity/organizing over which member opinion most strongly diverges.
