SUMMARY:Seeing Into The Life Of Things: A Workshop In Gratitude\, Blessing\, And Imagination

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: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. Inspired by her story\, we’re excited to bring this opportunity to the Mishkan community by hosting a donor drive tonight. Volunteers will be on site with swabbing stations to help participants complete their swab kits and learn whether they are eligible to become a donor—and potentially save a life. For more information about Gift of Life\, visit their website. \nPlease note that there will be a videographer on-site filming some of services for marketing purposes. \nWatch the livestream on Mishkan’s YouTube channel. \nThis program is sponsored by Maggie’s Place\, Mishkan’s holistic wellness center which provides support groups\, resources\, and pastoral counseling free of charge. \nLooking to help out? We’re in need of volunteer greeters to welcome people into Mishkan before services. You can sign up here or email Michael at michael@mishkanchicago.org for more information!
