This past Saturday, Stone Temple Church held the official ribbon cutting and opening of the community garden we have been working with for the last two years. It was a wonderful opportunity to see the powerful impact this project has had on the local community.
Don't miss our Virtual Art Tour with Sinai's guest artist Achim Mitrache tomorrow, 10/14, at 3PM! Comment below ⬇ and we will send you information on how to join.
Achim Mitrache is a painter, sculptor and installation artist. All of his works are defined by the interplay of light and dark in the context of religious iconography. The use of Braille and backlighting puts the viewer in a relationship with the artwork in a strictly ocular and tactile approach. The thorn is a dominant sculptural element in his works, intended to elicit a touch and recoil response from the viewer.
Learn a new melody for Hinei Mah Tov with our song leader Toby Pechner for tonight's Shabbat Service. Services will be live at 6:15pm on Facebook and at
chicagosinai.org/watchlive.
Join Teens Be Heard and Chicago Sinai for a "Do It Yourself" 5K Walk/Run to support Blessings in a Backpack beginning this Saturday, November 7. Sign up for our team here: tinyurl.com/y2njrhzu
