Is there a collection of Jewish worship songs written for dulcimer?
Just for clarification... I'm assuming that you mean "tabbed for dulcimer", as opposed to written for (composed for) dulcimer.
The request was for "Jewish worship songs." A lot of the common "Jewish songs" are holiday or folk tunes.
If you are looking for TABs for music for temple or synagogue, some of us here might be able to able to make them from sheet music, but we wouldn't have that or know what to look for.
Hatikvah (The Hope) is available in tab form on a few websites and well as in a few published tab books. I think there are few others out there, like the dreidel song, but you can do an internet search for specific songs to see what's out there.

Hi,
Thanks for your email.
As far as I know, there's no collection of Jewish music for dulcimer, but I'd love to see one. I know Jessica Comeau is among players who has at least one Jewish song in her repertoire. My setting of Hinei Ma Tov is my album Three Strings and the Truth: New Music for Mountain Dulcimer. It's out of print (the label folded), but it streams on many sources. I've performed other Jewish songs as well.
I'm a composer (and Jewish) and have composed and performed a great deal of Jewish music. Thanks for asking about this. I hope someone rises to meet the challenge.
Best,
