Kol Nidrei Youth and Families T’filah
Wednesday, October 1, 2025 | 5:00pm
All welcome; designed for 2nd through 5th grade families.
Led by Shana, Forrest, and Rabbi Joey.
5786 is here! Start it in community at Shir Tikvah! This Yom Kippur, our Families T’filot center on the theme, “Lilmod u’Lilamed (ללמוד וללמד) - To Learn and To Teach.” During the Kol Nidrei Families service, we will explore what we have learned and taught over the course of the last year.
On Yom Kippur, we pick back up after the ten days since Rosh HaShanah: On Rosh HaShanah, we thought about and shared what we want to learn and teach in the new year. On Yom Kippur, we think about what we learned and taught in the last year. As we settle into 5786, we invite our 2nd through 5th graders and families to consider these prompts:
-Where is the best place you have ever learned / Where is your favorite place to learn? Why?
-What is something you learned about/from yourself this last year? What was it like to learn this?
-What is something you learned about/from others this last year? What was it like to learn this?
-What is a cool/fun/meaningful fact you learned through your school/work this last year?
-Who did you learn from this last year? How might you honor them for what they taught you?
-Who did you teach this last year? What did you teach them? Did you know you were teaching them?
-What makes learning challenging, complicated? Why?
Have these conversations as a family before Yom Kippur and bring your thoughts with you to the service. Really push yourselves to think about learning and teaching as things that happen both at school and outside of school. We look forward to hearing what you discuss!
Shir Tikvah Yom Kippur Families T’filot take place at St. Joan of Arc on Wednesday, October 1 and Thursday, October 2. All are welcome to all services; evening Families services are designed for 2nd through 5th graders and their families and morning Families services are designed for newborns through 1st graders and their families.

Simchat Torah
Simchat Torah
Shir Tikvah Sanctuary and on Zoom
Jews renew our relationship with Torah each year by bringing Torah out onto the dance floor. Torah is not just a text to be read but a living, dynamic force guiding our community and personal growth.
Simchat Torah marks the end of our High Holy Day season, from the depths of grief of Tisha b’Av to the intensity of Yom Kippur, through the sweet harvest of Sukkot. On Simchat Torah, we read the last words of our Torah cycle for the last year (the closing lines of Deuteronomy), only to flow immediately into the opening words of creation in parashat Bereishit.
The seven hakafot we undertake on Simchat Torah (dances with Torah) symbolize different facets of life and connection, each circle representing a unique aspect of blessing and renewal. By engaging with these circles, we open to a deeper, more intentional approach to how we relate to each other, to our joy, to our grief and to our communal commitments. Our relationships and aspirations can be as fluid and evolving as the dance itself.
We will begin Simchat Torah with a delicious meal. We will then begin our Simchat Torah ritual - with music, dancing and blessing. We will close by unrolling the entire Torah and reading the beginning and end of our story. Our music will be energized by our brand new Shir Tikvah Simcha Band, bringing us live klezmer songs and deep spirit. In song and movement, we will make space for the full range of hope, sorrow, and resilience as we reach towards what might be possible.
Simchat Torah is the seal of our High Holy Day season and launches us into the new year in earnest. We hope you will join us for a night of community connection and intentional ritual.

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.
