Women Led Rosh Chodesh Service at the Daley Center
|
|
Friday, May 10
8:00 - 10:00 a.m. at The Daley Center
We here at Anshe Emet take pride in our egalitarian services. Women leading davening and wearing tallit and tefillin here are the norm, but in Israel, a woman wanting to wear these traditional religious garments in public can be subject to arrest and attacks.
On Rosh Chodesh Sivan, Friday, May 10, 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., there will be a women-led Torah service at the Daley Center on Randolph St. in support of Women of the Wall (WOW). This gathering is intended to focus public attention on the goals of WOW and to urge action by Prime Minister Netanyahu, Commission Chair Natan Sharansky, as well as other members of the Israeli government. Debby Lewis will be leading part of this service and everyone is encouraged to join. This will be a women-led egalitarian service with traditional morning prayers and the Rosh Chodesh Torah reading. Please bring your own tallit/tefillin and siddur.
Women of the Wall Chicagoland is a grassroots association and they have obtained a permit from the City of Chicago for this event. It is clear that Diaspora pressure is making a difference!! Let's keep it up.

| |
The CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a program through which individuals and families can place an order at the beginning of the season to receive a weekly box of delicious, freshly-picked, organically-farmed fruits and vegetables, delivered right to Anshe Emet. Anshe Emet will be partnering with farmer Vicki Westerhoff of Genesis Growers again this year to provide a weekly box of fresh produce from Vicki's farm in St. Anne, IL. CSA participants can choose the spring, summer, and/or fall seasons to receive vegetables, fruit, and eggs from Vicki. Spring deliveries will begin in early April. Go to the Genesis Growers website and click the "Sign Up" link on the top-right to print an order form. You can send your payment directly to Vicki at the address on the form, and be sure to indicate "Anshe Emet Synagogue" as your drop-off site. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Adam Parker. |
