Welcome to our Website!

Temple Beth Tikvah is a full service Reform congregation founded more than 30 years ago. Presently, more than 320 families participate in our worship, educational, and social programs. We are conveniently located near I-95, in the heart of the New Haven – Old Saybrook shoreline of Connecticut.

We have developed contemporary traditions reflecting our times, and our very special shoreline ambiance. Since TBT would be the only synagogue within the area, its founders envisioned policies, rituals, and practices accommodating the diversity of Jews increasingly populating the shoreline.

TBT serves as the focus of Jewish Community life on the shoreline. We are proud of our extensive programming for Jews in all the stages of life. Our Nursery and Religious Schools enjoy substantial enrollments. Our worship experiences are traditional, creative, and intellectually stimulating. We hope you will consider becoming an active member of our vibrant Jewish community.
 

Fourth Annual Phyllis Silidker 
Artist-In-Residence Shabbaton


The weekend of May 3 - 5, 2013
is our fourth annual Phyllis Silidker Artist-in-Residence program, sponsored by a generous donation from Leonard Silidker, father of Joel Silidker, in loving memory of his wife and Joel’s mother, Phyllis. Phyllis loved music and was a lifelong member of synagogue choirs where she lived in New Jersey, and this program honors her and her family’s devotion to Jewish music.

This year, the Phyllis Silidker Artist-in-Residence Shabbaton will welcome Joshua Nelson, “The Prince of Kosher Gospel,” and the Kosher Gospel Singers.

Joshua Nelson and the Kosher Gospel Singers will

· Join Rabbi Offner on the bimah for our weekly Shabbat service on Friday night, May 3, at 7:30 PM;

· Give a concert of Kosher Gospel on Saturday night, May 4, starting with a cocktail reception at 7 PM, Havdalah service 7:30 PM, concert at 8 PM and a dessert reception to follow;

· Present a Religious School program focusing on African Jews, their history and music, on Sunday morning, May 5 at 10 AM.

With the exception of the Religious School program (for students, their extended families and interested TBT congregants only), ALL EVENTS ~ Shabbat Services on Friday may 3 and the concert and reception on Saturday May 4 ~ are OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND FREE OF CHARGE. All program and food costs are generously underwritten by the Silidker family.

Please feel free to contact the synagogue at 203-245-7028 or office@templebethtikvahct.org with any questions about the weekend. For more information on our featured musician, go www.joshuanelson.com.
