GENERAL INFORMATION

We meet at Unitarian House, Dag Hammerskjölds Allé 30, 2100 Copenhagen Ø

Shir Hatzafon / PJD dinners & Kiddush after services are pot-luck buffets in which everyone brings some vegetarian food to share. The Board and the volunteers who arrange the Kiddush provide challah, wine, beverages and tableware.

We invite members and guests alike to join us. No need to call beforehand, just show up and you will be warmly welcomed.

Worship Services

Shir Hatzafon is a Progressive liberal congregation. Our religious services for Shabbat and Holidays blend traditional and liberal expressions of Jewish ritual and thought that encompass the beauty of both ancient and contemporary music and reaffirm our spiritual heritage as expressed in the Hebrew language. Traditional prayers, songs and modern readings are designed for accessibility of content in English, Hebrew, and transliterated Hebrew, with explanatory notes in Danish as needed.

Our services are characterized by a joyously informal, full participation throughout the congregation.

Kabbalat Shabbat

Kabbalat Shabbat is held on the first full-weekend Friday of every month. This abbreviated service includes lighting the Shabbat candles and blessings (brakhot) over the wine and bread. Shir Hatzafon’s famous pot-luck Sabbath dinner follows for a warm and congenial social evening.

Shabbat Morning Services

The Shabbat morning service includes Kiddush and is followed by a pot-luck buffet provided by the participants. It is held on those weekends with Kabbalat Shabbat Services.
