This one is friendly to kids\, teens\, and vegetarians.\nWicker Park – Hosted by Miriam Klevan on the second night (Thursday\, April 2)\, this adult only (older teens welcome) Seder is interactive with a nice blend of Hebrew and English. Three dogs\, and she’ll make sure there’s gluten-free Matzvah.\nSheldon (Farm Seder!) – Hosted by Lexi Weintraub and the lovely people at Zumwalt Acres on the third night (Friday\, April 3) join for a ritual and political Seder on a farm! A note from the hosts: Our community is primarily made up of queer farmers in our mid-twenties\, and we welcome everyone who is excited to join us in song\, prayer\, ritual\, and conversation from the heart. Because we’re about 2 hours from the city\, you’re welcome to spend the night in a bunk bed in our house or a bed in a canvas tent.

SUMMARY:How to Holiday: Passover Prep
DESCRIPTION:There’s a lot that goes into prepping for Passover. Join R’Steven for this hands-on workshop as we learn the ins and outs of getting your home ready for the holiday. We’ll practice by kashering (making suitable for kosher use) the Mishkan HQ kitchen for the holiday — as well as carbo-loading with some pizza to fuel our labor and get our last chametz in before Pesach. All ages are welcome! \n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:No Kings Rally: Pre-Protest Singing and Prayer
DESCRIPTION:March 28 might have the largest nonviolent protest planned in American history\, but it’s also Shabbes! So if you’re a Jew looking to show up at the rally\, and you’d also love to recognize and celebrate Shabbat\, we’ll be gathering at the Southeast Corner of Monroe and Columbus (look for the red pomegranate) to get spiritually uplifted and connected before the rally with Jewish songs\, prayers\, and divrei hafgana (protest sermonettes!) We invite you to join us early at 11:30 AM for singing and prayer in honor of Shabbat and the fight for a Pharaoh-free world! \nBring your voice\, your signs\, your timbrels\, and your tallis! Bring some challah and some grape juice — or anything that you’d like to share to make this feel a little more shabbes’y — before the rally begins at 1:30 PM. \nNo Kings is being organized by Indivisible Chicago and Hands Off Chicago. The march will begin at Butler Field in Grant Park (East Jackson Drive & South Columbus Drive) and run from 1:30 – 4:30 PM. More information is available here. \nFill out this form to let us know you’ll be there and so that we can get ahold of you if our meeting location changes.
