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.
Shabbat Morning
On Shabbat mornings, we often gather for songful prayer. Many Shabbat mornings will find us celebrating with our B’mitzvah families at 10:30am as our young members become teachers of Torah. On the first Shabbat of the month, all are welcome at our Tot Shabbat service at 9:30am. Bring your favorite instruments, your stuffies, your whole family, and get ready to sing and dance your way into Shabbat.
Community Shabbat Morning T’filah
10:30am; 12/7, 1/11, 2/8, 3/8, 4/26, 5/10
This songful service gives us the chance to lift our voices in prayer, to dig into Torah discussion and to savor Shabbat over a potluck meal. We’re thrilled to open a regular prayer space for the full community that centers our rising B’Mitzvah students. Our Shabbat schedule is oriented around the monthly gathering of Shir Tikvah’s 6th grade program and will provide opportunities for intergenerational connection and leadership.
Shabbat Evening
We say goodbye to Shabbat together at our weekly community-led Havdallah gathering, currently on Zoom.
