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.

Dreaming Beyond What Was: A Mutual Aid Panel
At Saint Joan of Arc, on Livestream + Zoom
Following a year shaped by immense need during and after Operation Metro Surge, and a powerful communal response, our community has shown what it means to truly show up for one another. Through efforts like the Yesod Fund, and the many quieter acts of care that surround it, we’ve built something both resilient and revealing.
On Yom Kippur afternoon, join us for a panel of visionary voices exploringthe possibilities this moment has opened. What has been shaken loose in us through this work? What new ways of being and belonging are we imagining — ways we may not have been able to dream before?
Together, we’ll reflect not only on what we’ve learned, but also on the futures we envision: how we might deepen our commitments to mutual aid, community care, and collective responsibility, and how we can sustain and strengthen one another as we bring those dreams into being in the year ahead.

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.
