The LEV Experience, a Jewish engagement organization that serves The Greater Washington area,  has been responding to the newly awakened yearning and searching for Jewish connection by so many Jews since the October 7th massacre. Since its inception in 2018, The LEV Experience, led by Rabbi Shlomo and Devorah Buxbaum has been on a mission to create dynamic and innovative programs to respond to the needs and the interests of Jews of all backgrounds.  They have become known throughout the DC area for creating workshops in people’s homes and community gatherings in innovative spaces such as art galleries, co-working spaces, Jewish community centers and most recently iHeart Radio Studio.  During covid, that innovation moved to virtual programming such as the Metamorphosis tween and teen girl empowerment program, which combined virtual meeting and weekly content delivery utilizing commonly used social media platforms. After the war in Israel began, and LEV’s planned womens Israel trip with 50 women had to be cancelled,  LEV shifted into focus to uplift and connect  people to the situation in Israel.  Some of the programs included a night of educating teens with Standwithus, a challah bake featuring Israels’ popular Challah Prince, and a couple of evenings of music and song featuring both NOVA survivor, Roi Assaraf and IDF commander and Israel advocate on Capitol Hill, Benaya Cherlow.
