Temple Beth Tikvah’s choir helps lend beauty and inspiration to our High Holiday observances and many Sabbath services. In addition, special concert programs, directed by our Cantor, are presented. All Temple members are welcome to join.

ADULT EDUCATION
Adult Education promotes and develops educational activities and programs for the congregation and the community. In addition, Adult Education arranges for many guest lectures, such as Scholar-in-Residence, the Joseph Gotthelf Lecture and the Rabbi Shacknai Lecture. Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah classes or Confirmation classes are held whenever there is sufficient interest.

CARING COMMUNITY
Caring Community is composed of a group of committed Temple Beth Tikvah members who extend their hands to members in need. A call to the Temple starts the process of giving assistance in a caring, thoughtful way whether the need is one of illness, loss of a loved one or any other difficult situation. Caring Community is dedicated to creating a spirit of community and family among our congregation.

SOCIAL ACTION
Social Action’s causes are important to the members of Temple Beth Tikvah. Whether it is serving dinner at St. Paul’s Kitchen for the homeless, collecting food for the Wayne Food Panty or sharing experiences at Mitzvah Day, Social Action’s work is done willingly and with a sense of pride.
