Make a gIFT
We are proud to stand out as a shul who opens our spaces to everyone this season, without a requirement of membership or paid tickets. We provide our community with services and resources and technology and food and time to worship and reflect; and, making the High Holy Days programs happen is a major expense for our little organization annually.
While Shir Tikvah doesn’t require you to contribute anything to join us, we do rely on the critical generosity of our community to financially support making these days possible. We strive to meet all this moment demands of us, and we ask you to join us; to be co-creators in all we seek to experience these High Holy Days and to meet this moment by giving generously.
Yizkor Memorial Slideshow
We remember loved ones of blessed memory with our Yizkor slideshow on Yom Kippur afternoon. Again this year we are also requesting a photo to be included in a visual In Memoriam; if you submitted a photo last year you do not need to provide the photo again. To include your loved ones’ names and photos, you will need to share their names through the form below and share any digital (emailed here) or physical copies of photos to Shir Tikvah no later than September 18th. Please submit one form per loved one. Thank you.
Giving Yizkor Memorial Honoraria in the memory of loved ones is a meaningful mitzvah. The suggested gift is $54 per name. Gifts can be made by check or online here.
