Temple Shir Tikva

Welcome to Temple Shir Tikva

We are a growing, thriving synagogue community in Wayland, Massachusetts. Although our physical space is closed, our clergy, staff, members and their families are staying safe at home and connecting in unique ways. Our services are broadcast live on our website, as well as on Facebook and YouTube. Join us for Simchat Shabbat every Friday evening at 6:15 pm and early morning Shacharit services at 8:30 am each Saturday morning. We encourage you to join us on Facebook for Welcoming Shabbat Meditation every Friday at 5:30 pm and if you have younger children at home, our Friday morning ELC Tot Shabbat at 10:15 am. Teachers in our Religious School and Early Learning Center are providing remote learning resources to our young people and adults are holding meetings, virtual happy hours and other social activities via videoconferencing technology. Please join our community via Live Stream, Facebook & YouTube each Shabbat. We look forward to being in each others’ physical presence sometime soon.

Shabbat Interfaith Choir Collaboration with the United Parish Church - Livestream
Friday, Jun 5th 6:15p to 7:30p
Every year the choirs of Temple Shir Tikva and United Parish in Brookline come together for a much-anticipated sacred music collaboration. While this began a half-dozen years ago as a way to educate our respective congregations about our Sabbath experiences and enjoy each others' worship music traditions, this connection has deepened beyond our expectations into a strong and enduring bond between our communities. By making beautiful, artful music together, learning from one another's clergy, praying in each others' houses of worship, and breaking bread together, we have cultivated a sacred friendship that has transformed the way we relate to one another and feel utterly at home in each other's holy spaces. To that end, this year's Interfaith Choral Collaboration will celebrate the theme of "Sacred Friendship" with songs that reflect our bond and the joy we've come to feel in each others' presence. Join us with our friends at United Parish in Brookline as our clergy are welcomed to speak from their pulpit during their morning services.
