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!
