Jews in the Potomac
Hamsa Nomads is coming to DC for the first time.

Boat seats are $15 per person until Thursday, October 15 at 3:00 PM ET. The price increases to $20 afterward.
Boat registration is a request until confirmed. Exact departure time and boarding point will be shared with boat participants. Drinks afterward are not included.
