Selichot (סליחות/“forgiveness”) 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/”cast”) 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 (ראש השנה/”head of the year”) Morning and Yom Kippur (יום כפור/“day of atonement”) Morning services are full, traditional services, available in-person and online.
Our B’Yachad (ביחד/”together”) service is open to everyone and is especially encouraged for families with children in Grades 3+. We encourage those who prefer an outdoor and slightly briefer service to sign up for B’Yachad. It is intended as a service for us all to join together in prayer and song.
This service takes place at Camp Chickami and is viewable on livestream. B’Yachad is slightly shorter than the morning service and will include several members of the choir. Including choir members in this service will allow participants to enjoy the full majesty of our classic High Holy Day prayers.
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.
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.

Afternoon Service
We continue our day of reflection, music, and prayer with the traditional afternoon service, including the story of the book of Jonah.
Yizkor
We join for Yizkor (יזכור/”remember”), a service of memory, in song, poetry, and quiet contemplation, remembering those who have we’ve lost.
Neilah: The Closing of the Gates
Join us for Neilah (נעילה /”closing”), 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.
Services held in the Sanctuary are accessible by those with mobility supports (canes, crutches, rollators, wheelchairs) by flat brick paths and carpeted floors. Our first floor bathrooms have been fitted with electronic door openers to make it easier for people who are mobility impaired to access them.

There is a place on the registration form to request accessible seating. If you have questions, or need to request an accessible seat, please email Marissa Brockman by Thursday, September 10th. We ask that you arrive early so that we can ensure appropriate accommodations.
Services held at Camp Chickami are difficult to access for those with mobility support needs. The main path includes a flight of stairs and uneven ground. It is possible to access the field through a uneven side path, however it is not easy. Additionally, seating is not provided, so please remember to bring chairs or blankets! If it is your preference to attend the Chickami services and you would like to make an access plan, please contact Marissa Brockman (), and we will be sure to have ushers there to offer support.
As we enter the season of t’shuvah (repentance, returning) and community, we are reminded of our duty of tikkun olam, repairing the world. One of the ways TST engages in this is through our annual High Holy Days food drive. Bags for donations will be distributed on Rosh Hashanah, and donations can be dropped off at TST between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur,
Every year during the High Holy Days, our congregation wide food drive helps refill food pantries’ shelves and provide personal care products for local organizations such as:
Boston Medical Center Preventive Food Pantry
United Way Tri-County
Paper bags with a list of items needed are located in the temple lobby and collected between High Holidays. Filled bags are collected in a storage unit located in the temple parking lot where TST members sort and pack these items after Yom Kippur.
View a list of the most needed items here.
If you would like to Volunteer at the Food Drive, please fill out this form: Volunteer Sign-Up
