Southside Shtetl is a pop-up Judaica market series for our community to access Judaica reflecting liberatory values, made in diaspora on the land we call home, plus political education about BDS, Palestinian liberation, and indigenous sovereignty. We'll have Jewish jewelry, handmade yarmulkes, tzedakah boxes, radical Jewish zines, oracle readings, mezuzah decorating, Turkish coffee, ritual candles, prints, dreidels, baked goods, and more. Our goal is to be part of keeping the music, food, languages, and ritual traditions of our diaspora not just alive, but thriving-- for our ancestors and for lineages to come
For Times Such as These: A Radical's Guide to the Jewish Year is a contemporary companion to the Jewish year cycle for radical Jews who want their lives and practice to be rooted in their political commitments. With a chapter for each month of the Hebrew calendar, For Times Such as These offers spiritual practices and holiday rituals rooted in movements for racial justice, decolonization, feminism, and queer and trans liberation. Each chapter opens with an invocation by liturgist and healer Dori Midnight and illuminated by artist Sol Weiss. Highlighting each month's spiritual and cultural qualities, Rabbi Ariana Katz and Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg summarize and provide commentary on Torah readings; examine the texts, histories, and contemporary customs of Jewish holidays; and offer questions to reflect on and engage spiritually with the month. This work provides a guide for creative action and ritual-making throughout the seasons, an exploration of anti-Zionist Judaism, and a spiritual-cultural invitation to embody and expand decolonial, anti-racist, queer, and feminist Jewish practice.
Fronted by accordionist/songwriter Emily Kastrul (Betazoid), chamber-pop septet Sister Species is known for their thoughtful, dynamic arrangements and opulent three-part trumpet harmonies. With an eye for astronomical and botanical wonders, Sister Species' songs range in topic from the inevitable heat death of the universe to dogs running through bogs.
