Each year at the Summer Fundraiser, we present a “Wish List” item — something that will enhance Shir Shalom. Past Wish List items included the recent solar energy project, the purchase of new audio and visual equipment for use at Services and playground equipment for our school.
This year, in keeping with our Garden Theme, we ask you to help raise money to improve the landscaping around our beautiful building. There is a need for loving care for some of our trees, new perennials and shrubs to ensure low maintenance and multi-season color.
Even if you can't attend the fundraiser in person, please consider making a donation for our Wish List.

High Holy Day Choir
Shir Shalom's High Holy Day Choir is open to new singers. We sing a fairly traditional High Holy Day repertoire — the music is both classical and cantorial. You must be able to attend weekly evening rehearsals and be available for all High Holy Day Services. Ability to read music is helpful. We can help you to learn the music but you'll need to do some preparation and study on your own.
Please contact Shari if you're interested: sborzekowski@gmail.com
