Welcome to the High Holy Days at Temple Shir Tikva!  This year, we will be offering High Holiday services both indoors and outdoors. Here's a link to the complete schedule of services.

Indoor services will take place in the sanctuary, are vaccination- and mask-only, and require tickets (click here to register for in-sanctuary services). 

All services in the sanctuary will also be livestreamed.

New this year!  Outdoor services will be held at Camp Chickami.  They are free and open to all, but do require pre-registration.  Camp Chickami is located directly behind Temple Shir Tikva.  The camp field offers us a huge, beautiful outdoor venue for celebration.  These services will be held weather-permitting.  In the event of significant rain (hail, locusts, whatever…) the event will be canceled and you may watch the indoor service on our livestream.

Anyone may attend the Chickami service without purchasing a ticket.  We encourage you to bring family and friends.  This is a great opportunity for you to help us reach out to others in the community who are wondering if Shir Tikva is a place for them:  please encourage them to join us to experience the Shir Tikva community for themselves.

For planning and security purposes, we ask that everyone planning to attend pre-register; this will also allow us to more easily contact you in the event of event changes.

Please plan to bring your own chairs or blanket: no seating will be provided.  Consider dressing comfortably for an outdoor service.  The field is accessible only by a short walk through a little wooded but slightly uneven path.

Please try to register by August 31 for your preferred service; we will use registration information to adjust schedules in case conditions change.
