BS"D

Shirat Shlomo was founded in 1993 by a group of families seeking to create a vibrant community based upon intense Chassidic davening in the style of Rav Shlomo Carlebach z"l. Among our goals were to have a shul with slower davening, no talking and tefila with kavana and joy, including singing and dancing. Today the shul, located in the Neve Efrat Retreat Center in Ta'ana numbers about 50 member families and attracts hundreds, including many young people, to our spirited Friday night minyan and special events. The synagogue is the model for dozens of "Carlebach Shuls" around the world. We offer numerous shiurim in various aspects of Chassidut, including Berdichev, Breslov and Piaseczna; please contact the Gabbaim for details.


SHIRAT SHLOMO: VISION STATEMENT

Rav Zvi Leshem

Shirat Shlomo can be described as having three main functions: 1) Beit Midrash: Shirat Shlomo is a center where people connect with HaShem and with each other through the study of Torah in general, and of Chassidic sources in particular. This is true on both the micro and the macro-community levels. It is a place which represents an alternative to modern materialistic society by presenting a "counter-culture" alternative stressing spiritual values. At times this may make some uncomfortable, but it is done with sensitivity and in accordance with Halacha. Chesed and Tikkun Olam are top priorities. 2) Beit Kenesset: ''Shirat Shlomo is a Kehilla that embraces people in need, reaching out both to those who are vulnerable, and to the vulnerable parts of each and everyone. It is a warm place of spiritual healing and empathy, and easily accessible and welcoming to those with physical limitations. People grow together in Shmirat Mitzvot in a non-judgmental environment. 3) '''''Beit Tefilla: Shirat Shlomo is a shul where the community attempts together to transcend physical reality and touch the Divine in HaShem, in the other, and in the self. This is achieved through the mediums of powerful communal prayer, song, dance, and other forms of self and group expression. There is recognition that as a community we are in a state of process, growing together in genuine, sincere, and authentic communal service of HaShem in the spirit of Chassidut.
