Have you ever heard the word "kosher" and felt stressed out? Felt unsure about how to even approach the conversation about food and Jewish practice? Join R' Jayce to explore bringing Judaism to your table, from an expansive exploration of what "kosher" can mean to blessings, hospitality, and honoring our bodies. Because it is so central to our lives, food can also be a challenging topic. The class will provide no prescriptive practices or assumptions, but rather make space for self exploration with a variety of historical and contemporary Jewish ritual tools.
Death, Mayhem, and the Creation of America’s First Progressive Jewish Burial Society with Rabbi Joey Glick
NEW ADULT EDUCATION!
In this series of free, drop-in Zoom classes, Rabbis Jayce and Joey will share some of their favorite episodes in Jewish history. We’ll focus on inflection moments that continue to shape the local and global Jewish community.
Register here to receive Zoom links. Attend one session or attend them all. While these sessions are offered as a free learning opportunity, we invite you, as you are able, to donate $18 per session attended.
Episode 1: Death, Mayhem, and the Creation of America’s First Progressive Jewish Burial Society
July 29 at noon with R’ Joey
In 1975, Adath Jeshurun Synagogue started America’s first progressive Jewish burial society, right here in Minneapolis. Mayhem immediately ensued. Adath’s burial society challenged the economic and social structures that had governed how Minnesota Jews treated their dead. A battle erupted between synagogues, rabbis, funeral directors and everyday Jews about how we should make decisions as a community and honor our beloved dead. In this course, we’ll study this history and consider what it teaches us about living and dying in Jewish community.
LGBTQ+/Queer Elders Potluck
LGBTQ+/Queer Elders will gather for a potluck dinner and conversation on Wednesday, July 29th at 6 pm at Shir Tikvah. We'll gather over a shared meal, catch up with one another, share what's on our minds, and enjoy the warmth of community. Please bring a vegetarian dish to share, and note that Shir Tikvah is a nut-free space. If you're planning to come, please RSVP here.

The History of Jewish American Democracy and Resistance with Rabbi Joey Glick
NEW ADULT EDUCATION!
The History of Jewish American Democracy and Resistance with Rabbi Joey Glick
Time & Dates: 6:00 PM, three Thursdays: July 2, July 16, July 30
Location: In person at Shir Tikvah
Tuition: $54 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)
In 1812, a brawl erupted before a board vote at Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim in South Carolina. In 1825, Mordecai Manuel Noah, a famous Jewish playwright, purchased Grand Island in upstate New York in a failed attempt to establish a Jewish state. In 1912, two prominent Jewish sisters attacked each other in the press over their differing views on women’s suffrage.
For the last three hundred years, American Jews have bickered, dreamed, and fought their way into American political life. In this three part course, we’ll explore strange and revolutionary moments in American Jewish civil engagement. Through engaging with this history, we’ll ask the question: how might the struggles, wisdom, and revolutionary creativity of American Jewish history shape our engagement with political life today?
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.

Episode 2: Voices from Sacred Trash: Meeting Wuḥsha al-Dallāla Through Fragments from the Cairo Geniza
August 2 at 10:30AM with R’ Jayce
The Cairo Geniza, an archive of around 400,000 documents discovered in the attic of Ben Ezra Synagogue in Old Cairo, have shaped our understanding of Middle-Eastern, North African, and Andalusian Jewish history from roughly the 6th - 19th Centuries. Join R' Jayce for an introduction to this historical collection, and learn more about the life of Wuḥsha al-Dallāla, a socialite, banker, and public figure in 11-12th century Cairo. Through documents that detail her business dealings, love affairs, and after-death wishes we’ll see how she challenges both modern and historical stereotypes about women, gender, and class.
Chachamim Dinner at Tavern 23
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.
August meeting: August 3 at 6:30 PM at Tavern 23, 7651 France Ave

Masks Required 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.

Tisha B'av at the Whipple Federal Building - in partnership with Unidos and Jewish Community Action
On July 23rd at 6:00 PM we will move towards the close of Tisha B'av with a service near the Whipple building. We will make space for our grief alongside our call to action and transformation in our community. Mixing words and songs both traditional and new, we'll connect with the historic weight of Eicha (Lamentations) and link our grief and activism to the tears and power of our ancestors. We'll close our service by ritually moving from a place of lament to action, mirroring the traditional shift from sitting low to the ground as if in a house of mourning, to sitting and standing back up.
If you are planning to join alongside our partners throughout the Twin Cities please register. Only people who are registered will receive the specific location and important logistical information. Even if you are unsure if you will make it, registering allows us to keep you in the loop. If you have any questions about either program, please send them to Rabbi Jayce.
Erev Tisha B'av Service
On July 22nd at 7:00 PM we will gather in the Shir Tikvah sanctuary both online and in person for a service integrating traditional liturgy and chanting with niggunim and song. Together we'll sing, pray, hear Eicha (lamentations), and allow our hearts to break open in the company of community.
After the service, we invite you to walk, roll, or drive to sites in our communities where people were stolen by ICE. After the service we’ll share sites near to Shir Tikvah, but also invite you to gather near your homes or neighborhoods. This toolkit provides modern liturgies, songs and poems and stories of loss, as well as a data base to see where people were and are being taken throughout the Twin Cities.
Shir Tikvah Library Volunteer Event (Day 2)
The Library Committee is looking for volunteers for a two-day project to get new labels on our books and also get them sorted into the right order on the shelves. We’d love for you to volunteer for an hour or more on Friday July 17th from 11am-4pm and Saturday July 18th from 12pm-4pm.
A lunch will be provided Friday. On Saturday, you have the option to join for the 10:30 AM service followed by a community potluck before we begin the library project.
Please RSVP here.

The History of Jewish American Democracy and Resistance with Rabbi Joey Glick

The History of Jewish American Democracy and Resistance with Rabbi Joey Glick
Time & Dates: 6:00 PM, three Thursdays: July 2, July 16, July 30
Location: In person at Shir Tikvah
Tuition: $54 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)
In 1812, a brawl erupted before a board vote at Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim in South Carolina. In 1825, Mordecai Manuel Noah, a famous Jewish playwright, purchased Grand Island in upstate New York in a failed attempt to establish a Jewish state. In 1912, two prominent Jewish sisters attacked each other in the press over their differing views on women’s suffrage.
For the last three hundred years, American Jews have bickered, dreamed, and fought their way into American political life. In this three part course, we’ll explore strange and revolutionary moments in American Jewish civil engagement. Through engaging with this history, we’ll ask the question: how might the struggles, wisdom, and revolutionary creativity of American Jewish history shape our engagement with political life today?
