"We Are Put On This Planet Not To See Through Each Other. But Rather, To See Each Other Through," -Rabbi Dannel I. Schwartz- Seeing people through is what Temple Shir Shalom is all about. By combining the spirituality of the centuries and the practicality of the present, we make people feel at home. In the two years since our inception, we've grown from 30 families to almost 600. We believe that a miracle like that isn't just because of mazel we feel that it comes from our ability to make each and every member of our congregation feel that we need them to be part of our family...because we do need them! Whether you have lived in Detroit all of your life or just arrived. Single, married, divorced. Young or young at heart. Blended family, convert, intermarried. You are a treasured member of our family. We listened to our parents and that's why we created a once-a-week Hebrew School...so that learning Hebrew can be a pleasure, not a pain. We listened to our children when they told us they wanted their Bar and Bat Mitzvah to be more individualized. That's why at Temple Shir Shalom there will be no double Bar or Bat Mitzvahs on a Shabbat...we believe each and every one of our children deserve their own special day. We listened to our membership and created programs for the intermarried, for the Over 40-Something set, and for Prime Timers (over 68). We created our own prayerbook for the entire congregation. through. No matter who you are and no matter what you do. Be a pioneer. Get in on the ground floor of a synagogue that is unique.
