11/28/2017

 
Picture
Keren Or (Ray of Light) announces the 14th annual creative arts contest for Jewish youth. Minnesota Jewish students in grades 7-12 are invited to submit original poetry, creative prose, photographs, and short-form video. The deadline for submissions is Friday, February 16, 2017, 5 p.m. All submissions must be submitted using the online forms provided at www.kerenorcontest.org.

Prizes in each category are $100 for first place and $50 for second and third places. Winning entries will be published at the Keren Or website and in a special supplement to The American Jewish World. They will also be included in an exhibit of Keren Or’s winning submissions at the Sabes JCC in spring of 2018. An awards ceremony honoring all the participants will take place on Sunday, May 6, 2 p.m., at the Sabes JCC (4330 South Cedar Lake Road, Minneapolis).

Keren Or was founded in 2004 by Jerry and Eileen Siegel (z’’l) to honor the memory of their daughter, Karen Siegel-Jacobs. Siegel-Jacobs grew up in Minneapolis and attended the Minneapolis Talmud Torah. She was an active member of Adath Jeshurun Congregation and USY and as a teenager wrote poems and short stories.

Keren Or is managed by Rimon: The Minnesota Jewish Arts Council (an initiative of the Minneapolis Jewish Federation) and is funded by the Karen Siegel-Jacobs Fund at the Adath Jeshurun Foundation.

For additional information and contest rules, visit www.kerenorcontest.org or call 952-381-3449.

Thanksgiving musings

11/22/2017

We are blessed to have so many talented members in our Congregation, one of which is Heidi Geller.

Heidi has been an active contributor for TC Jewfolk since September, and her series of posts fall within a certain theme: honoring her late mother's memory by sharing the back stories of some of her favorite go-to recipes.

Her most recent articles focus on Thanksgiving: one in which she shares the story of her first trip home after starting college - and the hilarious meal mishap that ensued. You can read the article HERE. The second is a cautionary tale about preparing a full-fledged Thanksgiving meal in the confines of a tiny, one bedroom apartment. You can read that article HERE.

Visit TC Jewfolk HERE to see the full list of her articles, and from all of us at Adath Jeshurun, have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving.

Let there be Light

11/16/2017

 
Hanukkah will be upon us soon, and we invite you to celebrate the Miracle of the Oil with Gan Preschool for a Shabbat concert you won't want to miss.

Join Gan Shelanu Preschool for a very special Friday morning as we celebrate Shabbat and Hanukkah with a young family musical service and concert. We are excited to welcome award-winning singer/songwriter Eliana Light to Adath. She promises to engage kids of all ages through song and ruach (spirit).

The concert, sponsored by the Betty Greenstein Young Family Education Series, is FREE, and the community is welcome to come and join in the fun! Special Hanukkah refreshments to follow.
 
Eliana's songs engage with Jewish holidays, history, language, prayer, and Torah, all with a midrashic, interpretive, spin. This music is full of content, and inspires others to take Torah into their own hands and interpret for themselves. A concert with Eliana is engaging, empowering, and of course, enlightening.

Check out some samples below of Eliana's music. We look forward to seeing you on December 15th!

Giving Circle - A Year of Giving Back

11/9/2017

 
Contributed by Sharon Garber, Hesed Chair

The Giving Circle celebration—which took place on October 29—was a fitting close to a fabulous inaugural year that included more than 150 members.

People of all ages came to help, learn, and have fun as they were immersed in social action.

Representative Peggy Flanagan inspired participants as she talked about growing up in poverty, eventually using her position in government to bring light to the fact that it isn't just "those people" using  food shelves and other services—it could be any of us at any given time. Her words energized participants to help reduce food insecurity, fight for affordable housing, and battle against racial injustice.
