Tisha b'Av: Same Goals, Same God, Different Ways Of Getting There (Re-Release)

This evening marks the beginning of Tisha b'Av, and in recognition, today's episode is a re-release of Rabbi Lizzi's Tisha b'Av sermon from 2022 at an interfaith service with our longtime partners, Lawndale Community Christian Church on the West Side of Chicago. On August 2nd, we will join our friends from Lawndale for a special screening of "A Time To Yell," an award-winning documentary about the August 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. As we remember this tragic episode, we will build solidarity between our communities, reflecting on the mutual threat white nationalists pose to the safety and thriving of Jewish and Black Americans. Following the film, we’ll have a discussion with Producer and Civil Rights Activist Daryl Davis and Rabbi Lizzi, plus a presentation from Lawndale Christian Legal Center’s Executive Director Cliff Nellis on The Deer Center, a powerful alternative to incarceration for young adults. We hope you will join us on August 2nd.https://www.mishkanchicago.org/event/confronting-white-supremacy-facets-08-02-2026/https://www.mishkanchicago.org/builder-drive-2026/***For upcoming Shabbat services and programs, check our event calendar, and see our Accessibility & Inclusion page for information about our venues.
