Wednesday, November 1, 7:00 pm.
Last month’s gathering was well attended and provoked some interesting conversations on everything from halacha to eco-kashrut.
Itza Mitzvah, a monthly caffeinated conversation with Rabbi Zedek about the universe, life and living as a Jew. Each month, the group will discuss a different mitzvah, or commandment, from our tradition, this month […]
“Sometimes a family is not so pious, does not want a mechitza, and prefers that everyone sit together at one table. This is not something to fight over. If a mechitzah is possible, then it should be erected, but if it is not, it can be done away with.” Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, spiritual mentor […]
All of Lakview is abuzz, the Jews, the gays and especially the gay Jews: Babara Streisand is coming to town.
Agudas Achim is the last Chicago synagogue of its kind, a dying breed of monstrous structures haunted by the spectres of Jewish life that long ago made Exodus from Uptown.
Dying? Monstrous? Haunted? What a great place to throw a party and show two classic Jewish goul films that beat out Frumah Sarah’s star […]

“How many of you have sat year […]

Every Jew has a cousin in Buenos Aires. 200,000 Jews live in Argentina, and a dozen years ago, the world was shocked when a bombing rocked the Argentine Jewish community. The AMIA (essentially a JCC) was reduced to rubble in an explosion that killed 85 and injured 200. It followed the 1992 bombing […]
Peli, recognized by many as the mother of Orthodox feminism, died in Yerushalayim yesterday morning at age 74. Born in New York, she made aliyah in the early 70s with her husband, Rabbi Pinchas Peli, and began a women’s minyan in her home using her own Torah scroll which led to the establishment of Congregation […]
Last week it was beastiality. Now it’s homosexual incest. Next week we’ve got prostitution and STDs. Boy, I sure am glad the Christian right doesn’t know about this book! On the other hand the sex and violence and perversion sure make for a great read. Shabbat Shalom.
A few months back, Oprah visited visited Auchswitz with Elie Weisel when she made “Night” part of her book club. It was her “make good” after the ‘million little pieces’ debacle. There was something a bit creepy about an anesthetic walk through an empty, abandoned death camp may be effective in person, but TV […]

Beachfront residents and environmentalist are using this law to try and stop the installation of the eruv.

Okay, not a shocker, but a possible surprise. Something about the Christian claim on the Dead Sea Scrools always sorta creeped me out and made me feel like our ancient Jewish texts were being appropriated by a completely different religion all over again. Not that we don’t “share” them or that I’m an […]
