About Shir Hadash: A new song in MilwaukeeYou can learn a lot about us from our name. "Shir Hadash" means "a new song." And we do enjoy learning a new tune. That’s not just because we're a musically inclined congregation. It’s also because we find new meaning in our Jewish traditions when we learn to hear them in a new way. Shir Hadash services are participatory, egalitarian, creative and warmly spiritual. Because we are a modest-sized congregation, you will find you are personally welcomed, and never just a face in a crowd. Each month, we typically offer three Friday night services (including one family-oriented potluck Shabbat), three Saturday morning minyans and one Saturday morning Family Shabbat service, as well as observing all the holidays. We also offer a a challenging array of adult education classes and a Rosh Hodesh women’s group, and we participate in a variety of social justice initiatives. Our dynamic and growing school provides an exciting new way of educating our children, and we offer additional instruction for children studying for b’not mitzvah at Shir Hadash. Our mission statement sums it up: “Congregation Shir Hadash provides an inclusive Jewish community for worship, study and social action. We respect traditions while allowing freedom to find personal meaning in an enduring Jewish culture.”

Health alertPlease consider the respiratory health of our congregation by not wearing scent in the form of perfumes, colognes, after-shaves, and essential oils on the morning or evening of a service. They can trigger mild to more severe symptoms in individuals who are sensitive to them. Soaps, shampoos, and deodorants have much milder and less penetrating scents, and are not a concern.
