Temple Shir Tikva Welcomes You!

Please join us for worship, study, fulfillment and fun!

Temple Shir Tikva is a 29-year-old Reform Jewish Congregation, affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism, located on the historic Boston Post Road in the suburban setting of Wayland, Massachusetts. We support a Religious School of over 450 children. Congregants have grown up, or participated, in orthodox, conservative, and reform environments. We hold a music-filled Simchat Shabbat service at 6:15 pm on Fridays using a prayerbook of our own creation. On Saturdays we have an 8:30 am Shacharit morning service followed by Torah study at 9:15 am.  There is also a late Shacharit service at 10:45 am when students become B’nai Mitzvah.

We have families of all ages from young families with no children to empty nesters. We support programming directed at all of these groups. Over the past several years we have added and enhanced programs such as a re-invigorated social action program (Tekiah), a significantly expanded Youth program including trips and outside programs for each grade level, a comprehensive set of adult learning classes on both weekdays and weekends, a Jewish Explorations Weekend, Reyim, a group for empty nesters, an Israel Action Committee, Kesher - a caring community, Tot Shabbat, a Brotherhood-sponsored golf tournament; and Cantorial concerts.

Clergy and lay leadership work together in an open environment and encourage the discussion of Jewish-related topics among members, as well as with those invited from outside the Temple.

Please explore this site to learn more about Temple Shir Tikva and its programs. Hineni, our monthly newsletter, is now on the web site. Our Program Book is a comprehensive annual publication describing many opportunities for both adults and children. We have recently added a collection of sermons from our Rabbi and a collection of music from our Cantor, choir, and cantorial soloists. Also, we are now putting on-line various Temple publications that have been sent out in the mail so that you can always come to the web site to find what you're looking for and to find the latest information.
