We have three types of Friday services, the regular adult Shabbat Service is held at 7:30 PM. Family Services are held monthly. Saturday services include Tot Shabbat, B'nai Mitzvah, and Havdalah.

Friday Family Services
Aleph Friday Night Services (for families with children in 3rd grade and under). Join us with your entire family to celebrate the joy of Shabbat with a service led by Rabbi Rim and Beth. There are special occasions when the service is led by one of our religious school grades. Services begin at 6:30 PM and are preceded by a potluck dinner at 5:45 PM. Check the Temple Calendar for the Aleph service schedule.

Friday Night Services and Potluck Dinners
The Temple Shir Tikvah community is invited to share in the peace and joy of Shabbat by attending one of our potluck dinners. Each potluck dinner is for people of all ages and takes place at 6:30 PM, followed by services at 7:30 PM.

Tot Shabbat (Katan v'Gadol) (also on our Education Page)
Tot Shabbat is our Saturday morning Shabbat celebration designed for pre-readers. We meet on the first Saturday of each month at 10 AM. Join our Tot Shabbat leader Angela Schatz in prayer, song, dance, stories, and tot-oriented activities. It is a great way to meet other families with young children. For more information contact TotShabbat@shir-tikvah.org

Saturday B’nai Mitzvah Services
Shabbat Services are held on Saturday morning (Shacharit) or Saturday afternoon (Mincha/Ma'ariv) for community Bar and Bat Mitzvah ceremonies. The congregation is always encouraged to participate in these joyous events.

Havdalah
Havdalah, Hebrew for "separation," is a ritual that notes the separation between the holiness of Shabbat from ordinary weekdays. Periodically during the year, we hold short Havdalah services generally followed by some community activities. During the summer, our Havdalah services are leisurely pot-luck dinners in members’ backyards, giving members of our community more opportunities to meet new friends and renew old acquaintances.
