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.

Join us in person at Shir Tikvah

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)

  • Register here

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?

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.

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.

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.

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)

  • Register here

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?

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.

Old-New Land: Key Events Shaping Zionism with Rabbi Dan Judson, PhD (partnership with Hebrew College)

Tuition: $180 with scholarships available. To inquire about scholarships, please email adultlearning@hebrewcollege.edu 

Date & Time: 5 Mondays, 7-8:30 p.m. CT 5/4, 5/11, 5/18, 6/1, 6/8

Register here

Location: Zoom (link will be sent upon registration)

This five-session course offers a historical deep dive into the evolution of Zionism and the foundational events of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We will examine the 19th-century intellectual shifts, colonial legacies, and competing national aspirations that form the background for the seemingly intractable conflict today. Eschewing a simplistic, black-and-white version of history, this course will emphasize nuance and an appreciation for the historical complexities of the conflict. The course will be rooted in Jewish history while sensitive to Palestinian narratives and the moral challenges of today.

Rather than formal lectures, we will look at poetry, speeches, newspaper accounts and essays to illuminate the historical story. Each session will focus on a particular era as we move from the late 19th century through the 1967 war.

*Class offered through Hebrew College, co-sponsored in Minnesota through Shir Tikvah, Mount Zion, and Beth Jacob Congregation.
