Make a gIFT

At Shir Tikvah, we believe our High Holy Days should be open to all — no tickets, no membership requirements, no barriers. Together, we create a community where every voice is welcome, every prayer is heard, and every heart is held. 


Bringing our services to life, whether in the sanctuary or online, takes months of preparation, staff time, music, technology, materials, printing, prayer books, gnosh, and countless hours of care. Each year, it is one of the biggest undertakings of our shul. This year, we need to raise $65,000 so that we can offer the meaningful and inclusive High Holy Days experience our community deserves.

We invite you, and implore you, to be a part of making it possible. Your contribution helps us open our doors wide and meet this sacred season with strength and love. Give today, and help launch Shir Tikvah into an abundant and generous 5786.

Yizkor Memorials

We remember loved ones of blessed memory during Yizkor, sharing names and images of loved ones who have died in years' past. 

This year we will: 

1. Create a printed Yizkor Memorial Booklet listing the names of our loved ones, which will be available during the Yizkor service 5786 and throughout the year. 

2. Share our communal Yizkor slideshow with images of loved ones during the service. Everyone included in the slideshow will also have their name printed in the booklet. 

For submitting photos and names: 

  • If you've previously submitted a photo, you do not need to send it again

  • To submit a photo, please use this form or email Nikolina, clergy manager at nikolina@shirtikvahmn.org. Please complete one form per photo.

  • To share physical copies of photos, mail them to Shir Tikvah, by September 15th. 

Giving in memory of a loved one is a meaningful mitzvah. The suggested gift is $54 per name/photo. Gifts can be made by check or here.
