Shabbat Shirah
Friday, January 30, 2026 • 12 Sh'vat 5786
6:00 PM - 7:15 PMTBE & YouTubeThis week we celebrate Shabbat Shirah, the “Sabbath of Song,” when we read the story in the Torah about our ancestors singing at the shores of the Red Sea, having just escaped slavery and the armies of Pharaoh. While our Friday evenings are always filled with music, the music for this Shabbat will be especially joyous, featuring uplifting melodies and harmonies that echo the Song at the Sea and invite everyone to raise their voices in celebration.
Please join us for Shabbat worship in person or via livestream through YouTube. We will also have a light nosh before the service, starting at 5:15 pm.
