SUMMARY:Adult BMitzvah Cohort
DESCRIPTION:Never had a BMitzvah? Or maybe you did\, but you want another crack at it now that you have a deeper sense of who you are as a Jewish adult. Our Adult BMitzvah Cohort is an opportunity to dive deeper into your Judaism by embracing an important ritual of Jewish adulthood. 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

SUMMARY:Concentration - Performance + Talkback
DESCRIPTION:In commemoration of Yom HaShoah\, Mishkan invites you to attend a performance of Concentration\, an adaptation of a book by Chicago poet Arne Weingart written as a dramatic monologue from inside a World War II death camp. Fifty short\, spare poems\, voiced by four actors and accompanied by live musical interludes and striking visual effects serve as a journal of an imagined response to real\, unthinkable events. \nJoin us after the show on Saturday\, April 11\, for a discussion about Holocaust memory and memorialization facilitated by Rabbi Steven Philp\, featuring Concentration director and Mishkan’s Director of Livestream Anna Gelman and poet/playwright Arne Weingart. No additional registration is necessary for the talkback! \nWhile not produced by Mishkan Chicago\, Concentration features the behind-the-scenes work of Mishkan Builders Anna Gelman\, Zach Weinberg (Mishkan’s Director of Programs)\, and Eliot Colin\, and the onstage talent of Jourdan Lewanda\, Mishkan’s Rabbinic and Ritual Assistant. \nPurchase tickets here

SUMMARY:Friday Night Shabbat — Featuring Jeremy Ben-Ami of J Street
DESCRIPTION:Tonight’s service will feature a guest drash by Jeremy Ben-Ami\, the president of J Street\, the political home for pro-Israel\, pro-peace\, pro-democracy Americans. After services\, you are invited to join us for snacks (catered by Schmaltz & Vinegar!) and a Q&A session with Jeremy to learn more about his work and how we can get involved. Thanks to Ari Levine for sponsoring kiddush in honor of their birthday! \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 two donor drives during upcoming Shabbat services on 4/10/26 and 5/8/26. 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. \nWatch the livestream on Mishkan’s YouTube channel. \nFor more information about Gift of Life\, visit their website. \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!
