Mazel tov to Miriam for this well deserved honor!

Miriam and her husband Michael have been part of Shir Tikvah almost from the beginning. With her warm smile, lovely voice, and friendliness, she is a well recognized member at services. Miriam’s commitment to leading services goes beyond her longtime role as a lay leader in our sanctuary and extend beyond Shir Tikvah. Before Shir Tikvah, she and Michael opened their home to many of us and Miriam led Shabbat at home services. She has been bringing joy to the residents of the Robison Jewish Health Center leading erev Shabbat services for 13 years – now as part of the Shir Tikvah’s Fifth Friday Shabbat group. Rosh Hashanah services are enhanced by her beautiful ya’alehduet with Michelle Ahonen.Three years ago when the Finance Committee formed a committee of congregation members independent of the Finance Committee to conduct an internal review of Shir Tikvah’s books and financial policies, Miriam accepted the responsibility of chair and used her professional accounting expertise to guide the process. Recently she joined the Levite committee setting up before services. And before she joined Shir Tikvah, Miriam devoted much time to the cemetery committee at Congregation Beth Israel.

Lastly, Miriam’s musical talents include playing the violin for over 10 years in the Jewish Community Orchestra and the former MJCC orchestra.

The Song of Miriam Selection Committee is made up of Shir Tikvah women members who have previously been Song of Miriam Honorees.
