Here's a little spiritual scavenger hunt you can do during Shavuot. Spiritual Scavenger Hunt 1. Ask several people the following questions: What is Torah? When/how have you experienced God? Think back to Sinai. What do you remember? What is it like? Who is standing near you? 2. Find or make something that represents Torah for you/what Torah means in your life/how you engage with Torah. Look over there on our calendar for details for our Shavuot gathering Tuesday, May 14!
The Exodus is our foundation story; the movement from slavery to freedom. At the Seder we will explore the Exodus from Egypt and our own Mitzraim, narrow places or places we get stuck. We will have a veggie, kosher for Passover, pre-determined potluck and a full mitziut style Seder. Contact Toast Cossick @ [email protected] by March 20 to sign up for something to bring. Tuesday, March 26 6:30pm 1460 W Olive (near Clark and Bryn Mawr) More info and RSVP at https://www.facebook.com/events/546117032087817/ IT'S PURIM!!!!!!!!
We'll celebrate Mitziut style: --a festive Purim Parade to our Celebration Space (costumes, noisemakers and instruments are welcome; it'll be a short walk of ~2 blocks) --Havdalah --collective and experiential Megillah reading in Hebrew, w/summary translation and mystical interpretation, deepened by improvisational group vignettes/dramas. 7:30-9pm --then dancing and all-round Ruckus until midnight. Bring your drums, guitars, horns, etc! Dancing will include worldbeat, disco, New Wave, Motown and other types of music spun by Dj Bashert. Saturday, February 23 7pm--12am 6968 N Clark, 2nd fl. (it's a narrow red door next to the dollar store) (it's also an awesome, newly renovated event space and this will be the first event in it!) $10 Suggested Donation It's a mitzvah to feed people and do tzedakah/justice on Purim, so bring your favorite triangle foods (or foods not normally triangle shaped, cut into triangles) for a pot luck. Also, a minimum of 50% of the proceeds will go to Rogers Park Food Not Bombs http://chicagofoodnotbombs.net/roge... Furthermore, consider bringing boxes of pasta to shake at the mention of the Bad Guy, then add them to the donations for Food Not Bombs. This is a child-friendly event, though there is no separate programming for the kinderlach. But kids like to dance, act and raise a ruckus, right? The parade will start at the parking lot at Ashland & Morse, where we can park for free until 3:00 am. We will gather at 6:30 pm on the sidewalk on the Ashland side and begin the parade promptly at 6:45 pm. While it is only ~2 blocks to the event site, we expect to take ~15 minutes for the parade.Bring your pot luck items to the parking lot and they will be transported to the party. It will be festive and loud! Rabbi Menachem is under the weather, so class tonight, the 18th, is cancelled. See you next week.
It's the Big Ten of Torah

Friday, January 19 5:30--9:30pm 1500 W Elmdale Immanuel Lutheran Church Punk is not music. Punk is not a haircut. Punk is not how you dress. Punk is an attitude, a way of life. DIY. Do it yourself. A grassroots, community based approach shared by punk rockers, community organizers and ranchers. And independent minyanim, like Mitziut. If it's broke, fix it. If you don't like the way it's done, start something new. Punk Jews is a documentary about Jews with this attitude. We'll watch the movie, after which there will be a Q & A with the producer and director. $10 suggested donation. Thank you so much for everyone who came to the Fall Session. It truly was phenomenal. The rabbinic teaching that we learn the most from our students was exemplified by this class. You taught me about holiness. You taught me how God is in our lives. I learned, I was uplifted, I was nourished.
In case you can't tell, I loved it. So much so that we're doing it again! Class Description: How is each person, in fact each element of Creation, an ongoing interpretation and experience of the Divine? Midrash is the vast corpus of rabbinic and lay commentary on the stories of the Torah and the Jewish bible, dating back over 2000 years and continuing today. In the 7 weeks we will look at classic midrash, modern midrash, create some new midrash and explore what it means to live in the ongoing flow of shefa (divine flow). We will practice meditations to open ourselves to awareness of the flow. For people of all, or no, faiths. Class meets Monday nights, for seven weeks, beginning January 14 $10 suggested donation per week Tea and cakes lovingly provided |
