Tickets

High Holy Day tickets were mailed August 14th to all members in good standing. There is no need to pre-register for services. You may attend any service you wish. Tickets are required for congregants and guests at all our services, except the Pitzeleh services. Tickets must be presented to the ticket checkers at each service and will be mailed to all congregant heads of household and children 13 to 18 years old. Children 12 years old and under do not need tickets. 
Please request guest tickets here.

Young Children's Pitzeleh Services

Newborns to kindergarten-age children and their families are invited to experience the fun and festivities of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur at these age appropriate services. Tickets for our Pitzeleh Services are not needed; however, registration is required and can be completed here.

Book of Remembrance

A cherished tradition during Yom Kippur Memorial Services is the Book of Remembrance, recalling the names of family and friends who are no longer with us. This book has become a very meaningful part of Yom Kippur and is distributed during the afternoon Yizkor Services.

To list names in this year's Book of Remembrance, please click here or contact the Temple office at 248.737.8700. If you listed names last year, please log into your account before completing the form. Forms are due by September 15th.

We are glad to provide free childcare for children 2-1/2 to 11 years old at all of our adult Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur Services at Temple. Space is limited and will be available by reservation only on a first come, first served basis. Childcare requests are due by September 15th. Register here.

Prayer Books

As of High Holy Days 5783, we have transitioned over to our new Machzor, Mishkan HaNefesh. Thanks to the estate of Jan Landsberg z"l, copies are available in our pews for everyone in attendance at our Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services. To purchase your own set, please click here. You will be able to pick up your prayer books until 4:00pm on September 19th. We are unable to ship books. If you need them shipped, you can purchase books from Amazon.

Reciprocal Seating Request

Temple Shir Shalom members who will be traveling during the High Holy Days are welcomed to worship at fellow Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) congregations in North America. To request seating at another URJ congregation, click here.
