     Shir Hamakom logo
Shabbat Shalom Shir Hamakom is a Jewish music worship community based on song and celebration in Greater Hartford Connecticut. We were established in 2009 by a dozen families looking to rekindle their Jewish spirituality with community worship, music and learning that excites the mind and ignites the soul.  We blend the traditional with the new, always with music, capturing a vital new Jewish spirit.

Our focus is re-examining traditional Jewish prayer, using contemporary song and new music, often a blend of the original Hebrew with interpretive English lyrics.  If you are familiar with the prayers, you'll feel energized and at home, if they are new to you, you'll feel welcome by our spirit and music.  We are casual and comfortable and welcoming.  All prayers are translated and transliterated.  We love to sing and we welcome you to bring your voice and to leave the work week behind as you experience our music worship welcoming Shabbat.

I know you're busy, but make time to feed your senses and your spirit with friends.  JOIN US on Friday January 6, 2012  at a new location at 6:45 pm with Arnie Davidson and Shelly Aronson.  Join us at 6:00 for wine and cheese and conversation before services.
