This five-session course offers a historical deep dive into the evolution of Zionism and the foundational events of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We will examine the 19th-century intellectual shifts, colonial legacies, and competing national aspirations that form the background for the seemingly intractable conflict today. Eschewing a simplistic, black-and-white version of history, this course will emphasize nuance and an appreciation for the historical complexities of the conflict. The course will be rooted in Jewish history while sensitive to Palestinian narratives and the moral challenges of today.
Rather than formal lectures, we will look at poetry, speeches, newspaper accounts and essays to illuminate the historical story. Each session will focus on a particular era as we move from the late 19th century through the 1967 war.
*Class offered through Hebrew College, co-sponsored in Minnesota through Shir Tikvah, Mount Zion, and Beth Jacob Congregation.

Featuring a teaching with Susan Raffo at 8:45PM
View the full teaching/learning schedule here
After these months of federal occupation, we’ll celebrate the giving of Torah and the resilience of our community with a tikkun leil Shavuot, a long night of communal dreaming, learning, song, and ritual. The story of Shavuot begins with lightning and thunder as the Israelites tremble in anticipation and fear at the base of Sinai. The story ends with the gift of Torah and a millennium-long relationship with text, community, and God. We will explore this trajectory from overwhelm to wisdom both by asking each other:
How does fear, awe and trembling move through our bodies and souls?
What covenants and commitments await us on the other side of this shaking?
How do we move from the motivation, inspiration, and connection formed in crisis to long term wisdom and partnership?
How do we learn to see past our own immediate needs in times of shaking to conceive of wider community safety and solidarity?
Weather permitting, our holiday will end with a sunrise Torah parade to Lake Harriet and a prayer service at the Lake. Between learning and song, we’ll snack on cheese cake and dance away sleep. Come for one session, or come all night. Learning sessions will occur both on zoom and in person. All are welcome. Masks are recommended for our in person learning.
The Tikkun is held in partnership with: Jewish Community Action, Minnesota Interfaith Power and Light, Shir Tikvah, J-Pride, Zuta, and Twin Cities Jewish Renewal Community.

Come and Listen: Exploring the Six Words of the Shema as Spiritual Practice
Perhaps the most sacrosanct six words within Judaism are: “Shema Yisrael YHVH Elohaynu YHVH Echad." We often recite the Shema in a rote fashion, without necessarily understanding each word, or the text as a whole. The focus of these four classes will be to delve inside the Hebrew letters and roots of each of the six words to unpack their spiritual meanings. Through discussion, contemplation, and recitation of the Shema, participants will learn the wisdom of this text from the inside out as a spiritual practice.
Please register here for this free 4-week workshop.
Garden Clean-up Day!
We would love your involvement to build more resources for the Caring Community and local food shelves to bring more healthy food and herbs to vulnerable communities in Minneapolis. You can help us build community and Ground in the land while we grow and learn about culturally, spiritually, and historically significant plants and seeds to share.
Our first opportunity to be involved in the garden is May 17th 9am to 12pm (during the last JAMI of the season!) to prepare the beds for planting. We will have ongoing volunteer opportunities throughout the summer. Please add your name to this Google Form if you’d like to keep informed of ways to be involved in the Story Garden.

Kabbalat Shabbat
AT THE HEART OF OUR COMMUNITY IS SONG, OUR SHIR TIKVAH, OUR SONG OF HOPE.
We raise our voices in song and gratitude, helping each other come to a place of rest and release each Shabbat. On Shabbat, all of creation rests. All who come to uplift the dignity and sanctity of all of creation are welcome in the Shir Tikvah sanctuary - comers of all faiths, identity, gender, race, ability, and familial structure.
KABBALAT SHABBAT
On Friday night, we gather in our multi-modal sanctuary to greet Shabbat with song, poetry, learning and connecting with one another. Led by our rabbi team and by an inspiring constellation of community leaders, our Kabbalat Shabbat (welcoming Shabbat) services are musical, accessible (closed captions and a full transcript of the service are available), warm and connective.

Location: Zoom (link will be sent upon registration)
This five-session course offers a historical deep dive into the evolution of Zionism and the foundational events of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We will examine the 19th-century intellectual shifts, colonial legacies, and competing national aspirations that form the background for the seemingly intractable conflict today. Eschewing a simplistic, black-and-white version of history, this course will emphasize nuance and an appreciation for the historical complexities of the conflict. The course will be rooted in Jewish history while sensitive to Palestinian narratives and the moral challenges of today.
Rather than formal lectures, we will look at poetry, speeches, newspaper accounts and essays to illuminate the historical story. Each session will focus on a particular era as we move from the late 19th century through the 1967 war.
*Class offered through Hebrew College, co-sponsored in Minnesota through Shir Tikvah, Mount Zion, and Beth Jacob Congregation.
Fight like a Mensch with Tamar Ghidalia and Jessika Hepburn
Rooted in the 1,000-year-old Jewish tradition of Mussar (applied Jewish ethics) and Chassidut (applied Jewish mysticism), this curriculum invites small groups of people to engage deeply in a learning community over ten sessions. With the support of spiritual practice, participants cultivate the courage to confront authoritarianism, the patience to maintain broad coalitions despite political tensions, and the emotional capacity to process fear and heartbreak in healthy, sustaining ways.
This program is offered in partnership with Lippman Kanfer Foundation for Living Torah, and is part of an
effort to research best practices for sustaining self-led Jewish education groups. Your Involvement helps support this effort, strengthening Jewish communal learning spaces, and equipping participants with tools for nurturing democracy now and for the long haul.
The group will meet on the following days in 2026: Mondays 4/13-20-27, 5/4-11-18, 6/1-8-15 -22 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm CT.

Scribal Arts Night at Shir Tikvah
At Shir Tikvah; RSVP Here
Join us for an immersive, hands-on introduction to the ancient craft of Jewish scribal arts (sofrut). In this interactive workshop, you’ll step into a tradition spanning thousands of years.
Together, we’ll explore the history and halakhah behind the tools of the scribe, and then bring them to life:
Cut and shape your own reed pen (kulmus)
Prepare and trim a feather quill
Mix traditional scribal ink using time-honored methods
Practice Hebrew calligraphy and letter form
You’ll leave not only with new skills, but with the very tools you’ve crafted – ready to write. Whether you're an artist, a maker, spiritually curious, or just someone who likes getting your hands a little messy, we hope you'll join us for this rare opportunity to engage Jewish tradition at its most tactile and elemental. All ages and backgrounds are welcome. As we'll be using scalpels to shape the pens and quills, children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. This workshop is led by Yonathan Reches, a sofer and member of the Kedusha Project, a collective dedicated to ethical, transparent, and accessible production of Jewish ritual materials. Come get messy with us!

The restaurants change each month and your dinner partners usually vary with your arrival time. An email invitation, with the location, is sent to everyone who has expressed interest in participating. For more information on the dinners or to join the email list, contact Marsha Eisenberg.
