Neila Jam with R' Arielle
During Neilah, the last service of Yom Kippur, after a day of singing and praying, we gather in front of the open ark to pour our hearts out. Our community is devout about Neilah - we sing loudly, we call out with full and breaking hearts, we put our all into the project of praying for forgiveness and transformation.
This year, we’re excited to offer Neilah Jam - a three-part musical workshop series on the liturgy and music of Neilah. You’re invited to join Rabbi Arielle and community musicians to learn more about the practice of Neilah and to develop your skills as a leader of communal prayer. When Neilah rolls around this year, on October 2nd, we hope you’ll join us up on the bima (or nearby!) singing loudly, oriented to the prayerful journey we undertake, and ready for what’s to come.
You can sign up for any and all of our Elul programs here in one form.

Kabbalat Shabbat
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.
