SUMMARY:Saturday Morning Unplugged: Learner's Shabbat
DESCRIPTION:Shabbat is about hitting pause – but what if we really slowed things down? This service is for anyone who has wanted a little more explanation about what we’re doing at services. This Shabbat will be hands-on\, questions encouraged\, interruptions welcome\, but still just as down-to-earth and inspired. Do you have clean recyclables lying around? We’re collecting materials for this year’s Museum of Awe Maker Space! Bring packaging material\, magazines\, cardboard boxes\, or any other material that hasn’t had food in it. \nProgramming\n\nRise & Shine at 10:00 am: Stories and songs for kids ages 0-4\nMah Tovu at 11:00 am: A fun service for kids Grades K-5. We will be exploring the summer holidays. Registration required.\n\nThere will not be ASL provided for this service. \nWatch the livestream on the Mishkan YouTube channel. \nComing for the first time? Let us know who you are so we can give you a special hello and introduce you to other Mishkanites. \n\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

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

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:Small Groups: Rosh Chodesh Av x Repair the World
DESCRIPTION:Rosh Chodesh Av holds a unique tension — it marks the beginning of a month shadowed by grief and destruction\, and yet our tradition also calls it the month of love. Join Repair the World and Mishkan Chicago to sit with that complexity through text study and honest conversation\, then channel it into action by writing letters of encouragement for young patients at a local children’s hospital. This is a trans-inclusive space for all women. \nRegister

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.
