About

Darchei Noam is a Modern Orthodox congregation in St Louis Park, Minnesota, established in June 2005.

Our members are committed to lives that integrate Torah study and practice with the best of study, culture and careers in the secular world. We are committed to Halacha and Halachic process, and Rabbi Moshe Simkovich of Philadelphia serves as our Posek (Halachic decisor).

Darchei Noam is a community of inspiring prayer and stimulating study. Our daily minyan meets every Sunday, Monday and Thursday mornings and all weekday evenings, and we have a full complement of Tefillot on Shabbat, Rosh Hodesh and Holidays. Men, women and teenagers give Divrei Torah after Shabbat and Yom Tov services.

We provide regular classes for adults, and are committed to our youth. Children’s groups are offered on Shabbat morning and a youth class is taught during tefillot. As part of our education program, Darchei Noam has brought in Rabbis and scholars for Shabbatonim.

We are committed to the State of Israel whose welfare we pray for every week. Many of our children have continued their studies in Israel and developed strong ties to the State.

We are committed to the larger Jewish community. Many of our members play active roles in Jewish communal activities, including schools, social service agencies and the Jewish Federation. Our members played a major role in establishing a Community Eruv.

If you are considering moving to the Twin Cities, here is a brochure we put together about the Jewish and General Community.

If you live outside of the community and would like to spend Shabbat or Yom Tov with Darchei Noam, we can arrange home hospitality with our members.

We invite you to join us!
