Bouldering & Bagels w/TAXY ($10)

After noshing and climbing with TAXY, come on over to exercise your mind and your heart with J-Pride as they empower us to answer the tough questions: What does freedom and liberation look like across generations of LGBTQ Jewish folks?

Free Thursday @ the Walker w/Moishe House
April 19 @ 5-9 p.m.
Join the MoHo gang at the Walker for Free Thursdays!
April 19 @ 7:00 p.m.
It’s a Jewish play. At a bar. In Minneapolis. This is cool. “A re-do of the classic Golem story, in this one women build the first magical creature of Prague for protection – sort of an early Me Too movement – but the entire story deals with the effects of discrimination, repression, and minority rights. Yet, there is humor, history, and hope built into the play, and of course flamenco dance to build the Golmah, the female Golem.”
April 22 @ 4:00 – 9:00 p.m.
This is the one I’ve been waiting for since I first heard about it. Beyond the Israeli food, the community celebration, etc., etc. – There will also be live music by two of my personal favorite artists – Kosha Dillz & Cafe Shachor Hazak – one of Israel’s leading musical groups. There is fun for the whole family! I cannot stress how much this is not an event to miss.
