    Rabbi Ari Moffic, of Sukkat Shalom, is officiating at my wedding. Since my fiance and I aren't…read moremembers of a temple, she let us know that we could get tickets to Sukkat Shalom's high holy day services by contacting the executive director. Since they don't sell their tickets, like most temples, they do ask for a donation in exchange for the tickets. But, giving what you can seems much more reasonable than being asked to pay a set price. (I don't even want to get started at why temples sell tickets for services on the holiest holidays . . .seems so . . . not right). Anyhoo, we went to their Rosh Hashanah service this past Saturday and over all we had a positive experience. For some reason, I was expecting it to be more of a diverse congregation and so I was really disappointed to see that my fiance was the only nonwhite person in the room. In terms of looking for a congregation to join, that is a major issue for us. But, I guess they are diverse in that they are very accepting of interfaith families. I guess it just depends what sort of diversity is most important to you. But, over all, the service was very nice. The rabbi gave an interesting sermon on biblical and modern parent child relationships. He used the example of Paul in Chorus Line. While he didn't come right out and argue for gay rights, there was definitely a message that parents should accept their children no matter their sexual orientation. I definitely appreciated that. There was lots of music and the shofar blower was awesome.

I was raised Conservative with some Orthodox. I have no regrets about my upbringing. But now that my parents and grandparents are no longer with us, Jewish Holidays became something I dreaded. I felt like I had no home. I am divorced, I do not have children and my partner is not Jewish. But Mishkan brought me back to Jewish High Holiday services with joy.

    Mishkan Chicago is more than a synagogue. It is a loving and caring community…read more It offers more than just religious programming. We are social action oriented, while also offering social programming, and learning opportunities for students of all experience levels. One of my favorite activities is the music jam sessions that we have! A bunch of people get together and just sing. Those who have instruments and want to play can bring them and play them as accompaniment! It's an awesome experience! For me, though, I love the Friday night and Saturday morning services. They are musical and filled with both Keva and Kavana. There's always lively and participatory discussion about the Torah portion and how it relates to modern life. The aspect of services that I love most is the music and the beautiful melodies that fill whatever space we are in! There's a ruach (spirit) that arises when we are singing together as a community. The room becomes electric when we are all praying together on Shabbat. It's like no other service I have ever been to. In ancient times, the Mishkan was a traveling tent that essentially served as a reminder of the spiritual presence of God. Today, it is a community that truly enhances my life and makes it more meaningful every day!
