From Words Into Action. ✨
Rabbi Brant Rosen is inviting you to join us in Dublin, Ireland, from June 26–28 for the Second Jewish Anti-Zionist Congress — a gathering rooted in cross-border solidarity, justice, and collective liberation for the Palestinian people.
Building on last year’s Congress in Vienna, this year’s theme reflects a shared commitment to move beyond discussion and toward coordination, strategizing, and sustained action.

Every year on Shavuot, Jews ritualize the receiving of Torah at Sinai through many hours of study: Torah, we are taught, is meant to be wrestled with, challenged, lived, and celebrated, through digging in to the contradictions of the text and asking hard questions. For those of us marginalized in Torah and by much of the rabbinic text tradition, this practice of wrestling with Torah is what makes it possible to to read it. How do we wrestle skillfully, in ways that enhance our Jewish lives and proliferate Torah that is relevant to our times?

For decades, Professor Judith Plaskow has been one of the leading scholars and creators of feminist Jewish theology and culture. Her books Standing Again at Sinai: Judaism from a Feminist Perspective and The Coming of Lilith: Essays on Feminism, Judaism, and Sexual Ethics, 1972-2003 have shaped generations of Torah students and scholars.

Today, while women, queer and trans Jews have done incredible work fundamentally reshaping the misogyny, patriarchy and homophobia in our tradition, there is still plenty of work to do. Everyday we face renewed challenges reading Torah, including texts that condone and celebrate violence, militarism, conquest, and supremacy, while Israel continues its oppressive Jewish-supremacist regime and violent occupation.

As we prepare for Shavuot, Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg is honored to welcome Professor Judith Plaskow for a virtual conversation at Tzedek Chicago about Torah and how we read it. We will discuss ways of reading and interpreting texts and engaging with tradition in politically aligned ways. How can those of us wrestling with Torah today learn from the generations of leftist text wrestlers who come before us and are still here?

Join us for a program featuring Tzedek Chicago member Sarah Rosenson, author of the recently published book Fan Fiction on the Book of Genesis: A Guide to Close Reading and Creative Writing on the Bible.

The modern phenomenon of fan fiction involves readers writing creative pieces that answer questions left open in favorite works of literature. This also describes the ancient tradition of midrash, where readers write stories filling in gaps in the Bible.

In this workshop, Sarah will highlight how her book discusses the questions left open in the first book of the Bible, which can serve as prompts for conversations or creative writing. Those interested in reading Biblical stories through a new and creative lens are encouraged to attend!

This event is free and open to the public. Register here: https://tzedekchicago.shulcloud.com/form/genesis.html

Tzedek Chicago will gather for our annual Passover Seder, led by Rabbi Brant Rosen. The hybrid Seder will feature our trademark combination of community, music, poetry, learning, and a delicious vegetarian dinner. All ages are welcome!

Link here to register in-person and virtually: https://tzedekchicago.shulcloud.com/form/passover-2026.html

A seder is a ritual of storytelling: the Exodus story, overlaid and interwoven with stories of our lives and times. How do we meaningfully engage with the Exodus story year after year, and discern what stories from this year are ours to tell? How do we craft a seder ritual that not only tells stories, but shows and feels our stories, and practices, living into transformative stories?

Join Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg for an interactive workshop to reflect on Maggid, on story, and prepare for Pesach.

NOTE: This will be a two hour session, with 90 minutes of presentation and discussion, and the last 30 minutes for a Q&A about seder planning and leading questions. If you are leading a seder for the 1st or 100th time, looking for a charoset recipe or a salt water themed poem, join us!
