Elul Food Drive with Joyce Uptown Food Shelf

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

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.

On Sundays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, stay on Zoom for a quick Maimonides study from 7:45 to 8 AM.  Rabbis Arielle Jayce, and Joey will teach through Mishneh Torah’s discussion of atonement and repair.

Shofar in the Park - Lynnhurst Park

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!

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

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

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.

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

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?

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.

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.
