Braille Megillat Esther Workshop
Join The Kedusha Project for a hands-on workshop to help decorate the world's first Braille Megillat Esther!
Tuition: Free! This project is made possible in part by a generous grant from Rimon: The Minnesota Jewish Arts Council.
Location: In-person at Shir Tikvah
Date & Time: Tuesday, December 15, 6-8 PM
Register here
We're creating a kosher, blind-accessible Megillah, combining traditional Hebrew scribal lettering with Braille. Through a series of community workshops, we're inviting Twin Cities communities to participate in every stage of its creation.
In this workshop, participants will help beautify the Megillah—and the decorations serve more than an artistic purpose! Because Braille characters occupy fixed-size cells, the Hebrew text sometimes requires staggered lines and unusual spacing. Our decorations will help visually justify these lines, addressing a halakhic consideration in the layout of sacred texts. Participants will explore the intersection of Jewish law, artistic tradition, and accessibility while helping bring this unique Megillah to completion.
No artistic experience necessary—all are welcome!

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
Chachamim Dinner at Great Wall
About the Chachamim group:
We are a group of more senior Shir Tikvah members who enjoy good food and visiting with others of various professional backgrounds and avocations. Many of us are semi- or fully retired. About 2/3 are regulars and the rest come occasionally or are “one and done.”
We meet for dinner on the first Monday of the month. 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. This information is also sent out in the Shir Tikvah eNews. It is one of the best-kept secrets for senior activities at Shir Tikvah. For more information on the dinners, email here.
October meeting: Monday, October 5 at Great Wall, 4515 France Avenue South. Minneapolis, MN

Shabbat Childcare
As we continue to embrace our value of radical hospitality and strive to create a welcoming environment for all members of our community, we are offering childcare for kids ages two to ten on the first shabbat each month during Kabbalat Shabbat. By providing a welcoming space for children, we aim to enable parents and guardians to fully engage in prayer and community. Together, let us strengthen our bonds and enrich our Shabbat experience for generations to come.
Childcare is from 6-9 PM. Please sign up your child using this form and consider a donation of $36 per child. Thank you!
