I cannot recommend Minnesota Hillel enough to any Jewish student attending the University of…read moreMinnesota! During my time at the U, Hillel was my home away from home, helped me make lifelong friends, and had amazing leadership opportunities that allowed me to go further in my career. STAFF: The staff at Hillel are next to none. They are all incredibly welcoming and kind people that often act as mentors and role models to students. They truly help set up Jewish life for greatness at Hillel. The staff are amazing at fostering engagement with student and between students, plan inviting and fun programming, as well as offer many leadership opportunities for students. PROGRAMMING: Hillel has anything and everything a Jewish student could want on campus. They always have a meal for Shabbat dinner on Fridays, and foster a welcoming environment. They also have services for any holiday, and offer programming and dinners. They have educational programming on Israel and Judaism, as well as fun and light-hearted programming (my favorite was a shakshuka cooking contest!). Hillel also offers very low-buy in events like quick study nights or just having a snack available for students to stop by. LOCATION: Hillel now has a state-of-the-art building that was completed in 2020! It is truly the center of Jewish life on campus. They have an event center that has plenty of room for big holiday dinners, Chillel which is stocked with snacks and drinks with a ton of comfy seating, the main floor has the staff office and meeting rooms to rent - as well as the sanctuary for services, there's a secure entrance and lobby, and the bottom floor houses study space and more meeting rooms! Also they added a beautiful rooftop that has a great view of the skyline and a gas fire pit! I truly recommend Hillel to any Jewish student - and if you'd like to learn more make sure to check out their website : mnhillel.org

Shalom! Hillel! How may I help you?…read more The hizzy is pretty small, in comparison to Hizzies at other universities. But its pretty amazing. There is the Rabbi, the director, the JCRC fellow and the admin assistant. Hizzy brings all the Jews together. It offers services, shabat dinners and hosts festivities for every holiday. There are also interesting weekly events, classes and lectures. Most of the stuff is reform, but the MN kollel now does a 10 week "orthodox" program there. The year after I graduated, they got a grant and did some renovations to the building. There is free popcorn, pool, TV, library and cool vintage chairs. Noone really knows how many times I sat in those purple chairs. Basically, kiddlie go to the hizzy. Its the best hang out on campus and meet your besheret. Shalom!!!

I have seen a couple people remove their masks once seated, even though it is posted on the big screens to wear your mask during the whole service. I have felt very safe. We are dismissed by volunteer staff to keep the number of people leaving from grouping together. Eagle Brook also has hand sanitizer available as you enter and leave the church. I have not noticed anyone coughing or sneezing in church. I believe that most people who come to church at this time feel well or would not come to church.

It pains me to do this review, but it has to be done. This Church has officially lost its reverent…read moreNovus Ordo card, why? Due to the fact that it has fallen to the modernists. Father Ben who I thought was a little querky at first, confirmed my suspicions that he was a fake and a fraud traditionalist Priest even though he himself claimed he'd uphold it here. Year after year that he's been here, he has modernized and contemporized a lot of this liturgy beyond what is acceptable to me in my humble opinion. Starting with the once beautiful traditional music, he's turned his back on that and had his new music director change it into contemporary cringe music like the rest of the multiple Novus Ordo Churches do, changing from the Organ to the Piano because the guy is bad at playing the Organ. But there's other aspects as well, specifically from this weasle of a Priest who I knew there was something amiss by his demeanor, the way he even speaks is so forced and fake to me that I knew he wasn't here to uphold the traditions of Good Shepherd. From the music, to the prayers, to the homily, eucharistic ministering, subtle slight aspects just keep modernizing and modernizing, alter serving is being stripped of reverence, the gestures, the use of incense being diminished, the design and ornamentation is slightly being altered (although not as bad as other Diocesan Churches). The type of people entering into the congregation is also affecting the liturgy, because I believe that in this synodal style, the newer lay people here are influencing the way the liturgy and Church is being ran, it's being transformed into another hipster influenced dump honest to goodness. It was already bad enough that they had been using women alter acolytes, and extraordinary ministers, but I could tolerate that nonsense (because women will never, or at least should never become Deacons or Priests) due to the fact that a lot of other traditional elements were still there. Hah! Little did I know that they were hanging on by a thread and were going to be slowly but surely be eroded by unserious people and clergymen. The Gospel talks about bearing good fruits, and bad ground will bear bad fruit, I believe this applies to the modernist clergy who ruin liturgies like this, bearing bad fruit because their hearts are hardened by the modernist influences, and tradition is enemy number one to them, as well as the liturgy and teachings of our Church Fathers and Saints that have blessed us and gave us something to appreciate, but these modernist hipsters despise because it's truly Catholic. My Grandfather used to attend this parish, I only attended this Church because he attended this Church and I wanted to honor him. But the problem is that the Church didn't honor me or his and other predecessors blessings and honoring of this Church, and tossed them away for their cringe, unserious, irreverent, boomer, hipster takes on the liturgy. And I know this Church was built after Vatican 2 to adhere to its changes on the Church, but the Priests and lay here for the most part still adhered to traditional liturgical practices that I felt comfortable being in. But once again, they and their pride and ego couldn't stand the traditional liturgical practices and forced their nonsense upon it, which leads me to today. I will no longer attend this Church until I hear that the Priest is either gone or gone through massive changes, and the modernization of the music, liturgy, design, and every other stain that has crept into this Church like many others is wept clean from here. Sincerely~Reverent Church goer.

I think I can write a pretty fair-minded review about Mayflower because this is a Christian church,…read moreand although I do hold some values in common with Christianity, I do not self-identify as Christian. So I am truly an outside observer. My father was very active at this church, and he received such incredible support from the pastors and congregation as he dealt with the incredible struggles of what would prove itself to be terminal cancer. People drove him an hour and a half each way, back-and-forth to the Mayo Clinic so that he could get the treatments he thought might help him survive. People dropped off meals. The pastors were both obviously moved at his death. It means a lot. This church has an extremely strong social-justice orientation, has impressive sustainability commitments, and is making a major impact on politics in the state of Minnesota. If you are looking for a Christian church, have progressive values, and want a church community that is infused with caring, this is the place for you.
