Our main means of communication is our weekly email, “Tuesday Tidbits,” our website and our Facebook page If you are not receiving “Tuesday Tidbits” (on Tuesday afternoons) once you have returned your forms please be in touch with us at 56 or If you need to reach the Rabbi directly please email or call her study at 56. As a small congregation, we aim to build community – and each person has a role to play in our success, and we hope that you will choose to join us. Our caring community committee reaches out to members to watch over us, especially as we go through difficulties. In addition to worship, our synagogue has opportunities for adult education (bi-weekly Torah study and private teaching), social action projects and social events through our Men’s Club, Sisterhood and Chaveirot (friendship circles). Several times a year this service becomes a themed service such as “Beatles Shabbat”, “Broadway Shabbat” and “Classic Rock Shabbat.” For this service, the siddur is projected on a screen, and the congregational band accompanies this uplifting pop-style musical service. Our services on the first Friday take place café’ style at the South County Civic Center with people sitting at round tables and offering an optional pre-service shabbat dinner. On the first Friday of each month we offer something of a more modern approach and little more out of the norm.

This service offers a meaningful traditional reform service utilizing the URJ’s siddur “Mishkan T’fillah” and traditional reform music. A more traditional service on the third Friday of each month is held in the chapel at Temple Beth Shalom in Century Village, Boca. We offer two distinct styles of Shabbat services. 6.3 of the people in Sharon have only smoked once. You will find many opportunities to connect with the community, rejoice in our proud Jewish heritage, enjoy cultural and social events, work together toward tikkun olam (social action) and share talents and skills in a warm and caring environment.Ĭentral to synagogue life at Beth Shira is worship and song. 86 S.Water Ave Sharon, PA 16146 (724) 308 6200 Sharon, Pennsylvania has 1467 residents and is located in Blair County, close to the city of Roaring Spring borough, PA.
