Please show your support today by making a gift and investing in Temple Shir Tikva. Your generosity today will help sustain the future of the Temple and enable us to continue to serve as the heart of Jewish living and practice in MetroWest.
We invite you to learn about some of our exciting new initiatives, such as our Loyalty Circle and our Koach Leadership Circle, as well as to view our Annual Reports. If you would like to inquire about giving opportunities, please contact Talia Hirsh.
After a successful launch, we are pleased to continue the Koach Leadership Circle. Now in its fifth year, this giving circle recognizes the tremendous generosity of our members who contribute $5,000 or more to the Temple on an annual basis, exclusive of dues and fees. This amount is based on total contributions during the Fiscal Year, from July 1-June 30.
Koach means strength in Hebrew, and we appreciate these members, whose strength in giving helps support the Temple every year, from our foundation and basic needs, to our programming, and in times of need, extra, crucial support. The generosity of these members helps make our goals achievable. To learn more about this opportunity, please contact Talia Hirsh, Director of Development.

We are proud to introduce the new Temple Shir Tikva Loyalty Circle. Debuting alongside our existing Koach Leadership Circle, the Loyalty Circle honors the commitment and generosity of our members who, year after year, have consistently contributed $1,000 or more to the Annual Fund. This new program recognizes the loyalty of these members who have generously supported the Temple with a gift of $1,000 or more to the Annual Fund each year for the past three, five, or ten or more consecutive fiscal years, through the creation of three loyalty recognition levels:
Chaverim (Friends) Level Three consecutive years
Chalutzim (Pioneers) Level Five consecutive years
Shutafim (Partners) Level Ten or more consecutive years
We are grateful for all our dedicated members who have demonstrated their commitment to support Temple Shir Tikva every year.
To become a member of the Loyalty Circle, make a gift of $1,000 or more to the TST Annual Fund three or more years in a row. To maintain your Loyalty Circle membership, continue to give $1,000 or more each year to the Annual Fund. Consecutive years of giving are counted by fiscal year, which runs from July 1 to June 30.

“The Eternal spoke to Moses saying: You shall accept gifts for Me from every person whose heart is so moved.” Exodus 25:1-2
Tzedakah is the great Jewish tradition of contributing from individual resources toward the good of the whole community. At Temple Shir Tikva, we treasure each and every gift that serves to strengthen our sacred Jewish community.
Temple Shir Tikva has established the L’Dor v’Dor (from Generation to Generation) Legacy Society to recognize and honor those who make commitments to Shir Tikva through their estate plans. It is through these meaningful gifts that we will ensure that Shir Tikva flourishes, and what better way to do it than through our wills. As you think about your future plans, we hope that you will consider joining us by including Temple Shir Tikva in your estate plans.
To learn more about the L’Dor v’Dor Legacy Society or to discuss how you may include Temple Shir Tikva in your estate plans, please contact: Talia Hirsh, Director of Development, (508) 358-9992 x202 or thirsh@shirtikva.org.
If you have already made provisions, and would be willing to inform the Temple of your estate plans, please click here, so that we can thank you for your generosity and welcome you into the L’Dor v’Dor Legacy Society.

Our growing membership, expanded youth and adult educational programs, social activities, social action opportunities and programming through the Center for Jewish Spirituality exemplify our current success.
