Mission

Shir Tikvah's Mission

• We are coming together as a community to provide a place of Jewish worship, learning and assembly, and to engage in various other activities that will promote the spiritual and educational welfare of our members.

• Our focus is the building of a caring, inclusive community in the spirit of liberal Judaism. We are committed to a participatory and democratic process both in congregational governance and in ritual.

• We welcome individuals and families of varying Jewish lifestyles. We are particularly sensitive to the need for inclusion of both traditional and nontraditional family structures, and for the development of an appropriately inclusive ritual life that enriches our Jewish experience.

• We are fully committed to a policy of non-discrimination on the basis of gender, marital status, race, age, or sexual orientation in all aspects of congregational life. This will include, but not be limited to membership, Rabbinic and lay leadership, employment, and ritual involvement.

• Our personal philosophies and practices may vary widely among us. However, we are united in a common commitment to Judaism and to furthering our spiritual growth individually and communally. We desire to do this within a liberal Jewish context, and by working together, along with Rabbinic leadership, to develop meaningful Jewish worship.

• We recognize that study of Torah is an ongoing life-long process. Development of Jewish identity and knowledge of our traditions will begin with religious and Hebrew education programs for children and continue with appropriate programming for adults. We hope to encourage and support one another as we grow in our studies and apply the wisdom and principles of our heritage in acts of loving kindness and social responsibility.

Reviews
I went to Shir Tikvah to look into converting to Judaism, and my experience in this synagogue really cemented my desires to be part of the Jewish community. I'm always worried about going to new places and meeting new people because I'm transgender, queer, mentally ill, and autistic. There is a lot of stuff people can judge me on. But Shir Tikvah congregation was and is incredibly accepting towards me. Almost as soon as I walked in for the first time, a member of the congregation greeted me and helped me get situated before the service. Other people in the service were very friendly to me, and throughout the weeks I met many other queer and autistic people! One week, the service was led by a pair of women who were married to each other. I had never experienced such a welcoming and inclusive community before outside of queer-specific events, and that welcoming atmosphere keeps me coming back as often as I can. The services themselves are also a staple in my spiritual health regimen. Singing the prayers is sensory heaven, and others don't judge you if you don't know the words. The messages are focused on helping others and standing in solidarity as Jews with other marginalized groups, like Muslims and immigrants. To quote another convert who goes to Temple Israel, "it was the first time I went to a religious service and found myself agreeing with what was being said on the stage and didn't leave feeling like crap." I completely agree. Shir Tikvah is a wonderful congregation if you're looking for an accepting, welcoming, and activist Jewish community.
