My guest for this week’s podcast Rabbi Lizzi Heydemann.
Rabbi Lizzi catalyzed the founding of Mishkan Chicago, a new Jewish faith community that describes itself this way: An unconventional kind of community, a cross-community community, designed to enhance the Jewish landscape in Chicago and create a new way in.
Lizzi has received many honors because of her work including being a 2016-2017 Schusterman Fellow, a 2018 winner of the Lippman Kanfer Fellowship in Applied Jewish Wisdom and listed as one of the Top 20 Real Rabbis by myjewishlearning.org.
In our conversation, Lizzi reflected on the joys and challenges of founding of Mishkan and what it means to create a space for those who felt on the fringes of the Jewish community; what perseverance and resilience means for her and its connection to her faith; and the practices that keep her going.
