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.

LGBTQ+/Queer Elders Gathering

On Monday, December 23, 6 pm at Shir Tikvah we are having a pre-Hanukkah potluck dinner with other Shir Tikvah LGBTQ+/Queer Elders. Hanukkah in Hebrew means dedication and commemorates the Maccabees reconsecration of the Temple in Jerusalem in 164 B.C.E. Given Hanukkah is about rededication, we’ll take some time to speak about what or who we choose to (re)commit ourselves to this year. Come ready to share dedications as we enjoy our nosh and celebrate together. Please RSVP here and let us know what you will bring.

Warm Cookies and Good Questions: Hanukkah and Winter-time Edition

Warm Cookies and Good Questions: Hanukkah and Winter-time Edition 

December 20th 5:15pm

Are you new to Jewish practice and eager to learn the basics? Have you been coming to Shir Tikvah forever and worried that you don’t know enough? In this occasional series, we’ll confront our “not knowing” with cookies and conversation before Friday night services. This session will focus on Hanukkah and winter-time.  Submit your question(s) on these or other topics here or bring them to the program. Your questions could be technical (“what direction do we light the menorah?”), philosophical (“do Jews need to ‘believe’ in God?), or anything in between. We’ll discuss a few of the questions submitted over warm cookies and milk. This program will be offered in person and on Zoom. If you are attending from home, BYO Cookies :~)

“What American Jews Need to Know about the West Bank?” with Hagar Shezaf, Haaretz’s West Bank correspondent

“What American Jews Need to Know about the West Bank?” with Hagar Shezaf, Haaretz’s West Bank correspondent

December 15th, 12:00pm CST; On zoom, Register here

In this conversation with award winning Haaretz West Bank correspondent, Hagar Shezaf, we will explore some of the most recent developments in the ongoing dispossession of Palestinians in the West Bank, the impact of the Gaza War on Palestinians in the West Bank, the rise of the extreme settler movement into the highest ranks in the Israeli government and how the settler movement is taking advantage of the war to try and rebuild the Jewish settlements in Northern Gaza. Hagar Shezaf is Haaretz's West Bank correspondent since 2019. Based in Tel Aviv, she covers mostly settler, Palestinian and military affairs in the West Bank for the paper. She is a Hebrew and Arabic speaker. Over the years, she was involved in a number of investigative projects such as a series of reports into the dealings of sanctioned Israeli billionaire Dan Gertler in the DRC, abuse of Palestinans by Israeli soldiers and settlers which led to a decision to suspend a military unit's operations, uncovering details of deaths of Palestinian prisoners during the current war as well as an investigation into censorship in Israeli archives pertaining to the Palestinian Nakba. In 2024, She was the recipient of the Israel Press Institute prize for her coverage. 



Co-sponsored by Shir Tikvah and Kehilla Synagogue.

Community Shabbat Service

At Shir Tikvah’s founding, our community gathered regularly for Kabbalat Shabbat services (Friday evening) and for Shabbat morning services, on the first Saturday of the month. Our community would savor the fullness of Shabbat, as our people engaged in an enriching service including the reading or chanting of the Torah parsha and a Torah discussion.

After a summer of monthly Shabbat morning gatherings, we grow our practice into 5785! This songful service gives us the chance to lift our voices in prayer, to dig into Torah discussion and to savor Shabbat over a potluck meal.

Torah Study: Our People's Journey

Torah Study: Our People's Journey (Zoom)

Scholars believe that the Psalms were written by different people over several centuries; these prayer-poems express a range of feelings and motivations–including awe, gratitude, hope, a desire for comfort, grief, and despair. The group will consider different translations of the text as well as associated commentaries; this phase of study will also give us the chance to dip into musical settings of certain verses or entire psalms. We’ll also have a chance to think about the various metaphors for the Divine that are found in the text and see what resonates most for each of us. To be added to the email reminder list contact Gayle Zoffer. All are welcome to participate.

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

Workshop in the Lineage of Generative Somatics

Embodied practices for bridging individual and social transformation. Workshop in the lineage of generative somatics:

Registration is required here; Saturday November 9th 3-5:30pm; Teacher: Becka Tilsen

We know how change that resides in our minds can leave us unable to take new actions despite our strong desires and solid conviction. We know that ancestral inherited trauma and systemic oppression have shaped the idea that our bodies are, at best, carrying cases for our brains and, at worst, something to dominate and control. But, how do we transform ourselves individually and collectively? Generative somatics is a politicized modality that works with the body as the site for change and offers concrete tools and practices for how we move from a ‘good idea’ to embodied change. 

This workshop was originally offered on Yom Kippur but had to be rescheduled. We are repurposing it as a post election resource for us to face the political reality together, no matter what happens. 

Becka Tilsen is a congregant, born and raised in the Twin Cities. She has been a student of generative somatics for 14 years and a practitioner for 10 years. Other things about Becka: she is a parent, she is a queer person, and a life-long organizer. She loves living room dance parties and she thinks she is very funny. 

If you want more information about Becka’s somatic workshops happening this fall email her at becka[at]beckatilsen.com.

Please register so we can prepare for our numbers.
