Congregation Shir Tikvah

About

Congregation Shir Tikvah is affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism and is part of Aleph: Alliance for Jewish Renewal and is committed to providing jewish services and community.

Story

In 1982, a small group of people desired to establish a Jewish community for those residing east of Woodward. In time, we selected as our name Congregation Shir Tikvah (Song of Hope), reflecting the strong roles that music and prayer, learning and laughter, faith and healing play in our community. Today, the Shir Tikvah family consists of members from the western edge of Oakland County to the eastern edge of Macomb County, and to the northern-and southern-most points of I-75. We built our building in 1998 located only one mile north of Somerset Mall in Troy.

Mission

"Congregation Shir Tikvah is an innovative, yet traditional, friendly and inclusive congregation, valuing diversity, where all can seek G-d and strengthen spiritual, social, educational and cultural aspects of Jewish life. As a bridge between our membership, our community and the State of Israel, Shir Tikvah embraces our heritage, provides continuity and encourages the evolution of Judaism into the future."

We consider this a living document and it guides every decision we make. We believe everyone is made in G-d's image and we strive to respect the needs of all members.
