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 children ages 2 to 10 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!
Masks Recommended 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.

Chachamim Dinner at Crossroads Deli
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.
September meeting: Tuesday, September 1 at 6:30 PM at Crossroads Deli, 2795 Hedberg Dr., Minnetonka

Final Day of the Elul Food Drive with Joyce Uptown Food Shelf | Aug. 14th - Sept. 11th
Join Shir Tikvah in raising food and funds for Joyce Uptown Food Shelf this Elul. This is an opportunity to connect our community’s practice of teshuvah, tzedakah, and justice with meaningful action in support of our neighbors experiencing food insecurity.
Donation bins will be available in the vestibule throughout each drive for congregants who wish to bring donations to shul
We will also encourage congregants to deliver donations directly to Joyce Uptown Food Shelf during our Friday distribution hours (9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.), with the hope that the majority of donations will arrive directly at the food shelf. We’ll encourage congregant households to work together in purchasing/collecting food items and delivering items to the food shelf
Direct drop-offs reduce the need to transport donations from the synagogue while giving congregants an opportunity to see Joyce’s work firsthand
Items Joyce is particularly in need of include canned goods (vegetables, soups, beans; non-expired/dented), pasta, rice (1 lb bags), cereal, ramen, peanut butter, non-perishable snack items (granola bars, individually-packaged fruit snacks, nuts, dried fruit), sugar, personal care items (bar soap, shampoo, deodorant—travel size or conventional), diapers, tampons, pads, and toilet paper
The food drive runs for the entire month of Elul (from sundown on Aug. 14th to sundown on Sept. 11th).

We are excited to engage this practice for its seventh year - a full cycle in Jewish tradition! Reciting Selichot daily in the month leading up to the High Holy Days provides us the opportunity to journey, individually and collectively, into the work of the High Holy Days. This year, more than ever, we need to pause after the injustices we have witnessed to do Ashamnu and Tikkun, our communal work of atonement and repair. Explore the liturgy here and sign up to lead here. You are welcome in this practice - whether one time or every day.

Shofar in the Park - Powderhorn
At the heart of Elul is the sound of the shofar, whose call invites us to awaken, reflect, and prepare for the new year. Join Shir Tikvah for Shofar in the Park, with two opportunities to gather in community, explore a story or text, hear the shofar, and cool off at the splash pad. Because Rosh HaShanah falls on Shabbat this year, the shofar will not be sounded on the holiday, making these gatherings one of the only opportunities to experience its powerful call this season. We hope you'll join for either or both of these events!
We’ll meet at the wading pool of each park. Please RSVP here!
Sunday August 16: Lynnhurst Park Wading Pool at 4 PM

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.

Daily Selichot
Join us on Zoom
Daily Selichot is a Sephardi practice of reciting penitential prayers and songs daily from the second day of Elul until Yom Kippur. We are excited to engage this practice for its seventh year - a full cycle in Jewish tradition! Reciting Selichot daily in the month leading up to the High Holy Days provides us the opportunity to journey, individually and collectively, into the work of the High Holy Days. This year, more than ever, we need to pause after the injustices we have witnessed to do Ashamnu and Tikkun, our communal work of atonement and repair. Explore the liturgy here and sign up to lead here. You are welcome in this practice - whether one time or every day.
