After moving to Chicago from D.C., Sarah Schwartz explores her attempts to find a synagogue and religious community in the city that feels like home … and why it turned into a more complicated undertaking than she thought.
This segment was produced by Sarah Schwartz for Vocalo’s Spring 2023 Storytelling Workshop. Vocalo’s quarterly Storytelling Workshop took place this spring with seven segments produced by community storytellers, uplifting the voices of individuals who add to the rich cultural diversity of Chicago. It was edited by Ari Mejia. More information can be found at www.vocalo.org/storytelling-workshop.
