Selichot is a beautiful tradition of joining together on the Saturday evening before Rosh Hashanah to mark the beginning of the High Holy Day season, including reflection, song, and changing the Torah scrolls into their special white mantles for this sacred time.
Tashlich (תשליך/lit. casting away) is a ritual performed each year during the High Holy Days as a way to symbolically cast off sins by tossing leaves, stones, bread crumbs, etc. into natural bodies of flowing water.
Our 9:00 am Rosh HaShanah Morning and Yom Kippur Morning services are full, traditional services, available in-person and online.
Our B’yachad service will be held at Camp Chickami and viewable on Livestream. It will be an interactive service for everyone, especially families with children in grades 3-7. B’Yachad means “together” and this is intended a service for us all to join together in prayer and song. (Note that in previous years, this was offered as our Early Morning Family Service).
Camp Chickami is located directly behind Temple Shir Tikva and offers a beautiful outdoor venue for us to celebrate together. The path to Camp Chickami contains some uneven ground and a flight of stairs. It is possible to access the field in a wheelchair, however it is not easy. Please see the “Accessibility” section below for further information. You must bring your own seating (chairs or blankets); no chairs will be provided. You are encouraged to dress appropriately for an outdoor service – comfortable clothing and sunblock, shoes for walking across fields – and to bring water.
In the event of bad weather, we will move the the service indoors to the Sanctuary, with limited seating and Livestream access. All updates about the location of the service will be provided here on the Temple Shir Tikva website.
For families with young children (yeladim/ילדים), ages 0-6. These services are designed for the whole family to join us as we sing, dance, and pray together. These services will be held at Camp Chickami and are viewable on Livestream.

We join for a service of memory, in song, poetry, and quiet contemplation, remembering those who have we’ve lost.
Join us for the closing service of Yom Kippur. As we conclude the day, our mood shifts from solemnity to joy, as we celebrate our emergence into the new year.
