As we enter this sacred high holy days season, our hope is that every person who walks through our doors experiences shelter. Whether this is your first High Holy Day with us or your 39th, whether you come carrying certainty or questions, celebration or heartbreak, may you find yourself welcomed into a community spacious enough to hold it all.

וּפְרוֹשׂ עָלֵינוּ סֻכַּת שְׁלוֹמֶךָ | Ufros aleinu sukkat shlomekha

May the shelter we pray for also be the shelter we build together.

We will be gathering in person at St. Joan of Arc, via livestream, and on Zoom for High Holy Day services.

All services are free, non-ticketed, and open to everyone without registration or membership requirements. Learn more below.

  • Youth + Families

    In addition to our family prayer services listed above, we offer childcare and camp during the community-wide services. Registration is required here.

  • Accessibility

    Shir Tikvah prioritizes inclusion and accessibility at our High Holy Day services.

  • Food Drive

    Join us in raising food and funds for Joyce Uptown Food Shelf this Elul. This is an opportunity to connect our community’s practice of teshuvah, tzedakah, and justice with meaningful action. 

  • Music + Poetry from our Choir

    We invite you to enjoy these recordings of music and poetry by members of the Shir Tikvah choir to deepen and grow your High Holy Days practice.

Make a gIFT

At Shir Tikvah, we believe our High Holy Days should be open to all — no tickets, no membership requirements, no barriers. Together, we create a community where every voice is welcome, every prayer is heard, and every heart is held. 


Bringing our services to life, whether in the sanctuary or online, takes months of preparation, staff time, music, technology, materials, printing, prayer books, gnosh, and countless hours of care. Annually, it is one of the biggest undertakings of our shul. This year, we need to raise $85,000 so that we can offer the meaningful and inclusive High Holy Days experience our community deserves.

We invite you, and implore you, to be a part of making it possible. Your contribution helps us open our doors wide and meet this sacred season with strength and love. Give today, and help launch Shir Tikvah into an abundant and generous 5786.
