Its 3 members and founders are Brenda Roses (Emma Goldman’s wet dream), Bikher Dik (a nebish daddy plotting revolution from the Yeshiva benches), and Kasha Varnishkes (a time-traveling glitter Jew). The Shmutzik Shmates met through organizing for abolition and Palestinian freedom and discovered a shared yearning to connect with their queer, radical Yiddish ancestors, both real and imagined. Bursting with erotic energy, they use movement to shake and shimmy out past and present traumas around Ashkenazi Jewish gender, sexuality, assimilation, and more. Their work has been featured at the 2020 American Jewish Studies Conference, the New Synagogue Project, Check It Enterprises in SE Washington, DC, in the Digital Yiddish Theater Project, and in various interdimensional Zoom portals. 

You can see more of their work on Instagram @dirtyragsdc and Youtube channel.

check out www.instagram.com/dirtyragsdc to learn more and revel in their magic.

In traditional Jewish practice, people use the mikveh regularly for spiritual or symbolic cleansing and renewal. 
      What does renewal mean to you? How can you bring renewal into your life? 

💧 Megafauna’s Morgan Spaner writes, “I wrote Mikvah Dream” about a recurring dream I had when I was younger that took place in the Lloyd Street Synagogue and Mikveh” 
       Have you ever had a recurring dream that transported you to a place, idea, or feeling? 

🛁 The Historic Lloyd Street Synagogue contains the oldest documented Mikveh complex in the U.S. Originally the  mikveh was housed behind the synagogue, in a separate building. When Baltimore Hebrew Congregation expanded the synagogue in 1860, the Mikveh house was demolished and the Mikveh complex was incorporated into the lower level. Interested in seeing it for yourself?
