SUMMARY:Small Groups: Taste of Spiritual Direction
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a 90 minute contemplative and interactive introduction to Spiritual Direction\, an ancient practice rooted in Hebrew Biblical and early Christian monasticism tradition and now reemerging within Jewish spiritual life.

We will share a period of silent meditation followed by reflection\, questions\, and space to notice what stirred. \nLed by Monte Dube\, a Jewish mindfulness teacher and spiritual director trained by the Institute for Jewish Spirituality and a longtime Mishkan Builder\, who accompanies individuals and groups on their spiritual journeys with care and presence. \nRegister \nThis program is sponsored by Maggie’s Place\, Mishkan’s holistic wellness center which provides support groups\, resources\, and pastoral counseling free of charge.

SUMMARY:Shavuot with Scholar-in-Residence Rodger Kamenetz: Dreams\, Revelation\, and the Sacred Everyday
DESCRIPTION:On Shavuot\, we celebrate revelation and the moment we received Torah at Sinai. But what if revelation isn’t only something that happened once\, long ago? What if it’s still unfolding\, in our dreams\, our imagination\, and the quiet moments of everyday life? \nJoin award-winning author and poet Rodger Kamenetz (The Jew in the Lotus) for a Shavuot learning experience that explores the torah of dreams and the ways sacred encounter can emerge through our inner lives. We’ll begin the evening with a community meal\, then turn to learning. Drawing on Jewish text\, especially the dream-filled stories of Genesis\, alongside his own work on imagination and spiritual practice\, Rodger will explore how Judaism gives us the tools to learn from our deepest feelings rather than bouncing from reaction to reaction in an a disorienting world. \nWe’re at capacity for in-person learning\, but we’d love it if you would join us virtually for the learning session starting at 7:00 PM. Register below for your Zoom link. \nRegister \nThere are more opportunities to learn with Rodger Kamenetz during his residency at Mishkan! He’ll be giving the drash at Shavuot Shabbat on Friday\, May 22\, and leading another workshop in the afternoon of Saturday\, May 23. We hope to see you there. \nThis program is sponsored by Maggie’s Place\, Mishkan’s holistic wellness center which provides support groups\, resources\, and pastoral counseling free of charge.

SUMMARY:Your Prayer Life Can Be Better
DESCRIPTION:This class is the first in a series designed for young adults to dig into Jewish spirituality\, created by Hebrew Seminary\, co-sponsored by Silverstein Base Hillel of Lincoln Park\, Anshe Emet Synagogue and Mishkan Chicago. According to Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel\, prayer should be an adventure of the soul– but that’s not how the average Jew would describe their experience in synagogue. This class will help you access the deeper meanings and parts of yourself that make prayer inspiring and fulfilling\, and hopefully give you the tools and confidence to have that soul adventure the next time you walk into shul. \nLight refreshments will be provided. American Sign Language interpreter will be present. All are welcome to attend at no cost.  This program is supported by a JUF Young Adult Engagement Grant. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Friday Night Shabbat
DESCRIPTION:Join us for music from our Davening Team\, uplifting liturgy\, and reflection from our rabbis. This week’s Shabbat will feature a guest drash on sobriety and a sober kiddush. \nDuring the High Holidays this past year\, Rabbi Lizzi shared the life-changing impact of her experience as a bone marrow donor through Gift of Life.

SUMMARY:Adult BMitzvah Cohort
DESCRIPTION:Maybe you never celebrated becoming a b’mitvah. Maybe you did—and want a chance to return with new questions and a deeper sense of who you are today. Our Adult BMitzvah Cohort is an opportunity to dive deeper into your Judaism by embracing an important ritual of Jewish adulthood (no matter your age!) Together\, we’ll explore what it means to be a Jew now\, build skills in Torah reading\, and develop our own interpretations of text. \nThe cohort unfolds over three modules: in April\, we explore what it means to become BMitzvah and our own Jewish journeys; in May we will learn trope; and in July we will write own drash (short sermons). We’ll culminate with two Saturday mornings in August\, where we’ll learn the flow of the service and celebrate together as you mark this moment publicly with the Mishkan community. Cohort participants must be Mishkan Builders and have learned the aleph bet prior to beginning the class (there are apps!) \nRegister \nAdult BMitzvah will meet on the following dates: \nApril 15\, 22\, 29 (6:30pm-8:30pm)May 6\, May 13\, May 20 (6:30pm-8:30pm)July 8\, 15\, 29 (6:30pm-8:30pm) August 8\, 15 (9:30am-11:30am)
