  7. 'Blue Jean Shabbat' planned at B'nai Torah

    Heather Aranyi, the new cantorial soloist at Congregation B'nai Torah in Highland Park, does not officially begin her new position until July, but what better way to be introduced than at an old-fashioned Shabbabaque (translation: a barbecue dinner followed by an informal outdoor Friday night Shabbat service)?

  9. Being numb to it all no longer big shock

    Sometime in the next few weeks, if you're walking down Fullerton Avenue around DePaul University and have 15 minutes to spare, duck into the tidy brick building alongside the CTA station. Here you will find the DePaul Art Museum, an institution so humble that only "Art Museum" is spelled across its modest facade. The admission is free, though the lessons offered in its first gallery, at least through June 16, feel priceless.
