Conversation with I/P Committee: Seders in Turbulent Times
Location: in person in Shir Tikvah’s library
On Pesach, or Passover, we retell an ancient story about oppression and a journey toward liberation. Like any story about our ancestors, it’s also about how we understand ourselves. How do we relate to Passover when we’re living in a time of war and political violence? While we witness destruction in Gaza, and war waged by the US and Israel, what does a seder mean to us? Come to a conversation for people who are hosting a seder and wrestling with these questions. This space for open discussion will be lightly facilitated by two members of Shir Tikvah’s Israel/Palestine committee. You’re invited to reflect on what’s coming up for you as you plan your seder. Feel welcome to bring ideas about approaches and resources that you’re finding helpful.
Please RSVP here.

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.

Shir Tikvah Book Club: The Lost Shtetl by Max Gross
The Membership & Engagement Committee would like to invite you to join our Shir Tikvah Book Club! We will meet every two months to discuss a book that is either written by a Jewish author or contains Jewish themes and stories. Our first book is The Lost Shtetl by Max Gross, a novel about a shtetl in the Polish forest that no one knows exists. For decades, the shtetl of Kreskol existed in happy isolation, virtually untouched and unchanged, spared by the Holocaust and Cold War. When a marriage dispute spins out of control, a woman in the village vanishes. Her husband goes after her, setting off panic. Eventually another villager is sent out of the shtetl to find the family.
Pick up a copy from your local bookstore or library, give it a read, and join us for a sweet conversation with snacks!

Play Reading: A Dragon Wrapped Around The Honeypot; Or, What do we do when the world is burning?
As the world falls apart around them, two Queer Jews turn to an old Talmudic story looking for guidance. Rabban Yohanan ben Zaqqai escaped the twice-besieged Jerusalem to keep the flame of Torah alive. Did he do the right thing? Or should he have fought harder? Prayed more? Made allegiances to save lives? Given up? In this play about making impossible choices, the audience is invited to think with Jewish and Christian ancestors who faced quandaries all too similar to our own.
Join us as an audience to watch the actors read and then engage in a TalkBack/facilitated discussion about the play and its themes.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Join us in person at Shir Tikvah

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.

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.

Join us to sing and dance our way through the Book of Esther. Our story follows Esther and Mordecai as they fight the evil Haman and navigate the parties and perils of Persia. Purim is the holiday of turning things upside down - of mischief and risk, of joy that transforms oppression and play that undoes the binds of injustice. Shir Tikvah volunteers have been busy at work, developing original cabaret acts that tell the story of Esther. These acts will help us to live into Mordecai’s challenge to Esther - “Who knows - maybe you were created just for this moment?” Come for the joyous singing, stay for the community-wide heart-centered silliness. Join us in costume with your favorite way to make noise. For those with limber spines, bring pillows and sleeping bags to sit on the ground.
