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:Your Prayer Life Can Be Better
DESCRIPTION:This class is the first in a series designed for young adults to dig into Jewish spirituality\, created by Hebrew Seminary\, co-sponsored by Silverstein Base Hillel of Lincoln Park\, Anshe Emet Synagogue and Mishkan Chicago. According to Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel\, prayer should be an adventure of the soul– but that’s not how the average Jew would describe their experience in synagogue. This class will help you access the deeper meanings and parts of yourself that make prayer inspiring and fulfilling\, and hopefully give you the tools and confidence to have that soul adventure the next time you walk into shul. \nLight refreshments will be provided. American Sign Language interpreter will be present. All are welcome to attend at no cost.  This program is supported by a JUF Young Adult Engagement Grant. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Reading the Book of Esther as Literature
DESCRIPTION:They say history doesn’t repeat itself\, but it often rhymes. As we approach Purim\, join Rabbi Lizzi for a fresh reading of the Book of Esther\, not as history\, but as satire\, social commentary\, and timeless reflection on power\, identity\, and survival. Together\, we’ll explore how this ancient story captures the anxieties and dreams of Jews living in diaspora\, and discuss how this story mirrors our modern world — a source of both inspiration and caution for the moment we live in now. \nThis is a three-part class that meets in the morning on the following dates: February 12th\, February 19th\, February 26th. This program costs $36/attendee for general admission and $18/attendee for Builders. \nRegister
