Every year, when we read parashat Beshallah, we celebrate Shabbat Shira, the shabbat of song. Just as the Israelites sang as they crossed from the narrowness of oppression into the wilderness, so too do we embrace the chance to sing our own song of hope, of exhaustion, of struggle. This Shabbat Shira, join us for a musical kabbalat shabbat service, with special addition of a new composition by John Orenstein on themes of peace and our shared humanity, sung by Shir Tikvah's choir.
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.
