Welcome to Temple Shir Shalom, a Reform Synagogue serving the Metropolitan Detroit Area.
Our Mission
Temple Shir Shalom strives to create a welcoming, warm, and inclusive community that honors the traditions of Judaism while embracing the innovative principles of reform so that every member can engage in Jewish life in an environment that prioritizes Torah (learning), Avodah (spiritual growth), G’milut Chasidim (acts of loving kindness), Tikkun Olam (social action), and meaningful opportunities for personal connection to our Jewish community and the State of Israel.
Our History
At the forefront of Reform Judaism’s future, Temple Shir Shalom has grown from 30 founding families in 1988, to over 950 families today. We have worked hard to create a synagogue that radiates warmth and responds to the individual needs of our congregants. Architects Ken Neumann and Joel Smith translated our congregation's mission and the vision of our founder, Rabbi Dannel Schwartz, into brick and mortar so we can accomplish the traditional three-fold purpose of the synagogue: a house of study, a house of prayer, and a house of meeting designed for people who wish to share the warmth of heart and spirit.
