Holidays and Festivals
Each holy day is unique.
At Shir Tikvah, we honor the traditions of our ancestors with 21st-century celebrations. Come join us as we harvest fruits on Sukkot, don costumes for a Megillah-reading, and dance with the Torah on Simkhat Torah. In the darkness of winter, we light our hannukiyot. With the coming spring, we remember our delivery from Egypt. And always, every autumn, we reflect on where we have fallen short and pledge to do better in the coming year.
Find more about each celebration on our calendar. Given evolving health conditions, we may or may not be able to accommodate visitors.
