Hartford's Unique Jewish Worship Experience

 

 
Isn't it time that you indulged your senses in the peace of Shabbat.  Find out what your spirit has been missing in the chaos of the week.  Discover it at Shir Hamakom. Let it inspire you all week.

ShabbatWe meet for Kabbalat Shabbat services on the 1st or 2nd Friday of the month. (Check service schedule here) Our worship is called Thank God it's Friday (TGIF) and begins with a social hour at 5:30 to relax, meet friends and begin to unwind from the workweek and welcome Shabbat with wine, food and conversation. 

Our worship begins at 6:20 (until 7:30) and includes a participatory, welcoming music-based service in addition to thoughtful insights on some aspect of Jewish living and increasing the spirituality and meaning in our everyday life moments. 

Following services, we usually meet at a local home for a pot luck, casual Shabbat dinner.  For details, join our mailing list: shirhamakom@gmail.com

Shabbat is one of our greatest gifts in the Jewish tradition - the mandate and opportunity to slow down, to separate from outside chaos, and to draw together as a community in song, prayer, peace and personal reflection. As the pace and frenzy of the world spirals out of control, we increasingly need the spiritual nourishment and grounding that music and Shabbat provides. We invite you to join us in welcoming Shabbat.

Shabbat CandlesOur culture and our worship is egalitarian and inclusive, full of music and life affirming. Our community embraces and respects tradition while remaining open to experimentation and innovation in prayer and observance. We all share a journey to find a path back to our Judaism, which challenges each of us to question, explore and work together to create a Jewish community and a Jewish life that is meaningful, joyous and relevant.
