The Am Shalom Makers get together every other month to get creative while being in community. No prior artistic experience is needed for any of the pieces. Some favorite past projects include pressed flower art, pop art pet portraits, Passover charcuterie boards, succulent gardens, mosaic mezuzot, and cinnamon babka.

Hop on the Am Shalom bus for a day trip to beloved cultural institutions, hidden gems, and special exhibitions. Field trips include transportation, guided tours, and lunch. Recent favorites include Graceland Cemetery, behind-the-scenes at the Auditorium Theater, a North Lawndale bus tour with Chicago historian Shermann “Dilla” Thomas, a Frank Lloyd Wright studio tour, the American Writers Museum and the Milwaukee Art Museum. The bus typically leaves around 9:30am and returns to Glencoe by 3:30pm.

Sip back and relax as wine experts and Am Shalom members Melissa & Greg Miller lead a tasting of wines from multiple countries, grape varietals and appellations. The group tastes three bottles/session over the course of four monthly sessions. The 12 wines are available for purchase by the case at a special rate.
This is a laid back, friendly experience perfect for new wine drinkers and wine “experts” alike!

Am Shalom is proud to field a softball team each season for the North Suburban Men’s Club Softball League. Games are played on Sunday mornings between April and August in Northbrook.
New players are always welcome – we like a big roster knowing that our players are busy and may not be able to come to every game.
Interested in joining the team? Please contact Dave Weber at davey54@gmail.com.
Fridays at 9:30am
All levels are welcome to a friendly Friday morning Mahjongg! Bring your own sets and cards; no money changes hands.
