Sukkat Shalom is a transformational reform congregation celebrating diversity, welcoming the intermarried, the unaffiliated, and those seeking to participate fully in Jewish life. Sukkat Shalom means a "sukkah of peace." A sukkah is open with no roof or permanent walls. Sukkat Shalom uses the image of a sukkah to remind us that our spiritual life is open to others and to God - flexible and dynamic.

| ?Kadima? is a Hebrew term connoting forward movement and progressive change, and the congregation seeks to create such transformation through studying Jewish ethics, fostering personal reflection and engaging in social justice activities. The Rabbi, Dr. David Oler, is also a clinical psychologist and in his teaching emphasizes Tikun Atzmi, personal self-repair, and Tikun Olam, the responsibility to repair the world by practicing justice and harmonious living, central concerns of Jewish tradition. The rabbi teaches an adult class on Saturday mornings, Jewish Ethics for Personal Transformation, which draws on Mussar literature, a compendium of ethical principles. The congregation sponsors Shabbat services and dinners, a variety of social and cultural activities, and is engaged in feeding the homeless, and working for racial justice and the protection of the environment. The religious school meets on Saturday mornings and offers youth a parallel approach to Jewish living. |

We are a traditional egalitarian minyan that meets on the first Shabbat morning of every month. Services are held at the Northwestern University Hillel located at 629 Foster St, Evanston, Illinois. Davening begins with opening prayers (Pesukei d'Zimra) at 9:45 am, followed by Shacharit, a Torah Service, a participatory D'var Torah and concluding Musaf Services. We daven using Lev Shalem siddurim (Conservative Movement) with copies available to all participants. A Kosher Kiddush follows services for all congregants, at approximately 12:15pm. All services, including the D'var Torah, are lay led, supported by a vibrant congregant community. We welcome all newcomers of all ages. Advance notice of attendance is not required.
