Pray
We invite you to enter into prayer with us — the ladder to our highest, deepest aspirations; the living, breathing heart of Jewish worship. Enlivened by great singing, pulsing with music from around the Jewish world, given new meaning with kavannot (short comments/intentions) and meditation, seamlessly switching between Hebrew and English. That’s what davening/praying is meant to be. Give it a try!

Shirat HaNefesh is blessed with many varied, talented, and motivated members who contribute to make the Days of Awe meaningful.
2023 High Holiday Information Coming Soon!
Shabbat Mornings
Our Shabbat morning services are intimate and filled with uplifting music and spiritual inspiration.
We meet each Shabbat for davening, meditation, Torah reading, and discussion. We start at 10:00 a.m., finish at noon, and enjoy a light kiddush until 12:30 p.m. Members of the congregation are encouraged to read Torah, chant a Haftorah, or give a reflection on the Torah reading.
Shabbat morning services in 2022-23 will be a mixture of Zoom and in-person services. Two services a month will be led by Rabbi Rachel Gartner, one service will be lay-led by Shirat HaNefesh’s experienced volunteers, and one service will be led by guest clergy. Please check our calendar and home page for the schedule.
Holidays
Shirat HaNefesh offers evening services and activities for most of the Jewish holidays.
We have rousing Simchat Torah celebrations, wonderful Chanukah parties, inspiring Tu B’Shvat Seders, raucous Purim spiels, and in certain years, beautiful Passover Seders. For Shavuot, we begin with our own learning session, then join the community Tikkun at Tifereth Israel/Ohev Shalom. For the last several years we have observed Tisha B’Av with a joint evening service with Fabrangen. Please check our calendar or contact us for details.
Friday Nights
Please check our online calendar for the Friday night schedule - there are currently no Friday night services planned.
Our Friday night services, 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., feature global Jewish music, plenty of ruach/spirit, soulful davening, and occasional dancing in the aisles! They are followed by an Oneg Shabbat (light refreshments). We have also held potluck dinners — “Shabbat in Our Homes” once a month. If you are interested in helping to organize Friday night Shabbat celebrations, please contact info@shirathanefesh.org.
