Shabbat Services:
First Friday of the Month 7:45pm
Third Friday of the Month 7:45pm
Makom Ohr Shalom services are unique, brimming with music, joy, spirit, and community. Our services are on the first and third Fridays of each month.
If you are coming to Makom for the first time, you will probably want to attend a first or third Friday of the month service, initially. These services incorporate meditation, chanting, original and traditional melodies and even some dancing in the aisles. You don't have to be Hebrew literate to enjoy our Shabbat service. Our prayer book includes Hebrew, English and transliteration for every prayer. And, if the liturgy is unfamiliar, you're encouraged to hum along. All our services conclude with an oneg, featuring desserts, fellowship and informal schmoozing.
First Fridays:
The first Friday of each month is EnCHANTing Shabbat, which includes prayer, music, meditation, and, of course, chanting of the Torah. Inspired by Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi. We have created a unique — and truly enchanting — way of reading Torah, including the Hebrew with trope
(cantillation), the English translation sung in the same melody, the reader's own creative commentary. Services begin at 7:45 pm in our regular sanctuary location. Children are always welcome in the service. Childcare is provided if we are given 24 hours notice.
On the third Friday of each month, we meet at our regular sanctuary location, and services begin at 7:45 pm. Our Musical Shabbat Service includes meditation
and music with Alulah Tzadik and others. Children are always welcome in the service. Childcare is provided if we are given 24 hours notice.
