Study together one of the core texts of Sukkot and the entire High Holy Day cycle, Megillat Kohelet (Ecclesiastes). Tackling three chapters each week on Shabbat after kiddush lunch, we’ll engage with the original text in Hebrew and translation, informed by the contributions of academic Bible scholarship and contemporary religious and spiritual commentaries. All learners are welcome. In person only.

Benefiting the people of Chicago today and ensuring blood for Israel tomorrow.
How you can help Israelis today if they need blood tomorrow? For now, Israel has enough blood to meet existing needs. But that could change instantly in the case of continued war, natural disaster, or other unforeseen emergencies. When you donate blood, you help ensure Blood Centers of America is ready to provide blood to Magen David Adom, Israel’s emergency services system, whenever it might be needed. Help your local community while providing Israel with an insurance policy, too. If you are able, please consider donating blood at our upcoming drive.

As the High Holy Days approach, we are called into a sacred season of introspection, renewal, and transformation. Teshuva Through Art invites participants into a unique spiritual experience that blends Jewish tradition with the power of creative self-expression.
Rooted in the themes of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur—remembrance, accountability, forgiveness, and return—this immersive workshop series offers a space to explore the inner landscape of the soul through guided art-making, text study, and reflective practice. In person only.
