Kabbalat Shabbat & Potluck Dinner: October 24, 2025 at 6:30pm, In person and on Livestream + Zoom

Re-Imagining the American Synagogue: Since the publication of his book, Finding a Spiritual Home: How a New Generation of Jews can Transform the American Synagogue Rabbi Sid has been one of the most influential voices and consultants on the American synagogue. In this presentation Rabbi Sid will share insights about how to re-think the paradigm of the American synagogue in a way that might help congregations do a better job of engaging the next generation of American Jews. Bring a vegetarian dish and join us for a potluck dinner.

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.

Shabbat Morning & Lunch: October 25, 2025 at 9:30am, In person

Davenning Out of the Box: You should attend this prayer experience if: a) you are often bored at services; b) you have no idea why anyone would willingly attend a worship service: c) you are a deeply spiritual person but services don’t always work for you; d) you want to go where prayerful Jews have never gone before. Through discussions, song, movement and sharing, participants, from young to old, will walk away with a new appreciation for the shabbat liturgy and the transformative power of prayer. Important note: If you want to participate in this service, you must be in your seat by 9:30am. While people may leave whenever they choose, it will be impossible to appreciate or understand the experience if you are not there at the beginning. A kiddush lunch will be provided followed by an interactive conversation on “What is Prayer?” informed by the morning’s experience. 

Havdalah: October 25, 2025 at 6:00pm, In person

The Pillars of Covenantal Community: The centerpiece of Rabbi Sid’s work with rabbis and synagogue leaders across North America is the concept of “covenantal community”. In this interactive exercise, participants will engage with the five pillars of covenantal community and walk away inspired to help create a community that focuses on both personal and societal transformation. Havdalah and nosh to follow.

Cosponsored by Hineni and Shir Tikvah 

Have you ever wanted to dip your toes into mystical Jewish wisdom?  Have you ever dreamt of studying Jewish sources in their original language, with no translation?  In this class, we’ll study a short passage of Talmud that discusses the nature of creation, the dangers of studying mysticism, and the mysteries living within the Hannukah candles.  We’ll learn this passage in the original Hebrew and Aramaic, drawing on tools and methods developed by a Svara, a traditionally radical Queer Yeshiva.  The only prerequisite for this class is the ability to sound out the Hebrew alphabet, no other Hebrew language skills required.  Through close study with a peer, deep dictionary sleuthing, and careful grammar parsing, we’ll explore together the Jewish wisdom of darkness and light.  

This class forms the first leg of the inaugural Twin Cities Tour de Torah.  Communities across the Cities will be offering text and arts based courses leading up to Jewish Holidays with the goal of finding spiritual tools for our times.  Students can jump in at any leg. Those who race the whole tour will receive a special prize.  Check out the next leg of the Tour: Illuminating Wisdom in the Dark: Hannukah Leaning through the Jewish Studio Process with Lillie Benowitz of Sustain Studio.

This three part course will explore the past hundred years of Palestinian history in Jerusalem as a case study in displacement, domination, dispossession and resilience.  The class will be taught by Munir Nuseibah, a legal scholar and human rights advocate whose family has lived in Jerusalem for over 1000 years.  The course will look at specific moments in Jerusalem's recent past, including the Nakba/Israeli state establishment,  and the 1967 occupation, along with contemporary barriers to human rights, including residency and building restrictions, forcible displacement and dispossession. Building on these stories, Munir will invite participants to envision possibilities for a just future in Jerusalem and Israel/Palestine—one rooted in equal rights, citizenship, the repair of injustices and mutual recognition of both Palestinian and Israeli humanity.

About the Talk: Where are the stories of great queer love in the Shoah? There are almost none. In her new book, People without History are Dust: Queer Desire in the Holocaust (newly translated into English and published by the University of Toronto Press), Anna Hájková explains why the history of same-sex desire in the Shoah, that is, queerness among Jews persecuted by the Nazis for their race, has been excluded and marginalized, and how its return to our understanding of the Holocaust can offer an inclusive and feminist history of this genocide. Based on original and extensive archival research, Hájková offers a concise insight into the queer history of the Holocaust for beginners and advanced alike.

About the Speaker: Dr Anna Hájková is Reader of modern European continental history at the University of Warwick, UK, and the pioneer of queer Holocaust history. She is the author of, among others, The Last Ghetto: An Everyday History of Theresienstadt (Oxford University Press, 2020) and People without History are Dust: Queer Desire in the Holocaust (University of Toronto Press, 2025).

In Person at Shir Tikvah

Join Sustain Studio for a 3-part series exploring what it means to create, reflect, and tend to our inner lives in the season of sacred light and encompassing dark, using the Jewish Studio Process. This ritually held practice includes text study, then a guided creative process of art making and witnessing what came through. Anchored in the lead-up to Hanukkah and the growing darkness of winter, this series invites us to connect with our innate creativity as a spiritual practice and to explore how light emerges from darkness, and what wisdom this season kindles within each of us.  This series is accessible to anyone regardless of experience with art making. Materials will be provided.  

This class forms the second leg of the inaugural Twin Cities Tour de Torah.  Communities across the Cities will be offering text and arts-based courses leading up to Jewish Holidays with the goal of finding spiritual tools for our times.  Students can jump in at any leg. Those who race the whole tour will receive a special prize.  Stay tuned for information about the next leg of our journey.  

Tuition is $216 with no one turned away for lack of funds (if you’d like to request a scholarship, please fill out this form before registering for the class). Register here

Together we’ll explore Jewish time and look at Jewish holidays, practices, and life cycle moments.  This course is geared towards anyone who wants to learn more or delve more deeply into Jewish practice including those who want to update (or unlearn) their Hebrew School education, interfaith couples, and those returning to or interested in exploring Judaism.  SJL is the first of two 12-week courses that form an intro to Judaism sequence which is required for conversion students at Shir Tikvah.

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.

Sundays Dec. 7, 14, 21, 28 and Jan. 4 from 2PM-3:30PM

Tuition: $90 with no one turned away for lack of funds (if you’d like to request a scholarship, please fill out this form before registering for the class)

Since before the 1940s, short fiction has been a space where Israeli and Palestinian authors have distilled the world around them for eager and devoted readers, creating mental pictures of their own and each others' communities. We'll explore stories by Israeli Jewish and primarily nearby Palestinian writers, who were or are citizens of Israel. We'll discuss how their senses of home, heritage, and one another have evolved through significant moments in Israeli-Palestinian relations - particularly the wars of 1948 and 1967, then through the alternating Intifada and Oslo Peace eras, from the late 1980s into the 2000s.
