This Seder is accessible\, but note that there is a puppy!\nHyde Park – Hosted by Judith Miller on the first night (Wednesday\, April 1)\, this kid-friendly Seder is discussion heavy (as much as can be while being kid-friendly) with delicious food.\nLincoln Square – Hosted by Elaine Vozar and George Cederquist on the second night (Thursday\, April 2)\, they’re doing it again in a Seder filled with song and story. 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. Feel free to reach out to zumwaltacres@gmail.com if you have questions before signing up.\n\nWe’re also running a waitlist this year\, so if your desired Seder is full\, please select that option and tell us what you’re looking for! \nClick here for more info and to register

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:Tisha b'Av
DESCRIPTION:On Tisha b’Av we remember the most painful moments of our people’s history. While the destruction of the the first and second Temples in Jerusalem are the big headline losses\, this holiday has become a container for our collective pain over generations and into the present\, and an opportunity to examine our own role in causing harm to ourselves and others. \nIt is the one other 25 hour fast day on the Jewish calendar along with Yom Kippur\, but while the Yom Kippur fast has a redemptive and healing quality to it\, the fast of Tisha B’Av has a mournful\, regretful quality to it. \nJoin us for a meal\, text study\, and discussion about the holiday before we embark on our traditional reading of Eicha (Lamentations). While we will be charging for the dinner and text study\, anyone is welcome to join us for the ritual elements at no cost. Our meal\, text study\, and discussion will begin at 7:00 PM. The ritual portion of the evening will begin at 8:30 PM with a reading of Eicha (Lamentations). \nRegister \n

SUMMARY:Get to Know Your Neighbors: High Holiday Edition
DESCRIPTION:The High Holidays are a time for reflection\, renewal\, and—if we’re being honest—a little bit of anxiety about seeing everyone again. Before the days arrive\, gather for a Shabbat meal with fellow Mishkanites to get to know one another and discuss the themes of the season. Generous Builders are opening up their homes and providing a main course for this potluck-style meal. Read on for more info from each host\, then click here to register. \n\nGold Coast – Hosted by Lisa Portnoy\, this elevator-accessible dinner promises great food\, great conversation\, and great company.\nGold Coast (second dinner)– Hosted by Mark and Patty Weiner\, this accessible\, all-ages dinner is warm\, welcoming\, and conversational.\nLogan Square – Hosted by Emma Epstein and Josh Stillman\, this cozy dinner is in a small but accessible apartment. They have two young kids and love to sing. There’s a dog in the house but she’ll be closed away in the bedroom for the evening.\nAndersonville – Hosted by Liz Schuller and Timothea Canny\, this low-key dinner is up half a flight of stairs. They also have a dog.\nAndersonville (second dinner) – Hosted by Danny and Andrea Alpert\, this fish and dairy meal has a few steps and no pets.\nEvanston – Hosted by Joel Brown and Julie Strauss\, this kosher-style dinner has three steps to enter (with a railing). Dress up for Shabbat\, but come as yourself. Expect a mostly vegetarian meal\, though meat isn’t off the table. We are newer Builders at Mishkan and are looking forward to meeting other community members! We have no pets and are kid friendly (though our own kids are now adults!).\nDeerfield/North Suburbs – Hosted by Jodi Eisenstadt\, this kid-friendly\, song-filled dinner includes vegan and gluten-free options\, with two guitars waiting to be played. There are about four steps to the kitchen and dining area\, and while two cats live in the home\, they’ll be kept in another room. If the weather cooperates\, dinner may be on the deck.\nOld Irving Park – Aimee and Ben Schuster will host a casual\, family-friendly dinner. Our home has ~10 front steps to reach the door. We have a well-behaved dog\, and a moderately-well-behaved 9-year-old daughter.\n\nRegister!
