The Music of Makom
“God gave us Music that we might pray without words.” ~ Beethoven “Music unwraps the heart, sings out the prayer, dances the Spirit, and opens the soul.” ~ Mary DavisJewish Prayer Through Music
Jewish music helps us open our hearts, lift our souls, connect with the Divine, and pray. Music is a great way for both beginners and the more experienced to feel the meaning inside the prayers. At Makom, we sing Jewish prayers in both English and Hebrew, providing translations and transliterations.Traditional and New Jewish Music
Makom has always been a place where people pray through song and new music is born. Our services incorporate prayers sung to traditional melodies as well as contemporary songs. Some of our favorites include songs by Debbie Friedman, Craig Taubman, our own Rabbi Monty Turner, and some of our own congregants.Spark Your Creativity
Over the years, many congregants - singers, composers and musicians - have brought their hearts, souls and talents to our services. If you love to sing, if you play an instrument, if you love to listen to music, if you love to dance, you are most welcome to join us! Makom has a history of sparking creativity and inspiring people to deepen their connection to Judaism through music and prayer. If you are a musician or vocalist who would like to share your talents, reach out to us at makomohrshalominfo@gmail.com. And please check out our community and our services which are listed in our calendar here.
With little Jewish education, Dana Stone found her
spiritual home at Makom Ohr Shalom about thirty
years ago. Singing in the choir, she became a
soloist in time, and sang at Shabbat services
alongside many of our clergy.
Pam Bassuk arrived at Makom over thirty years ago, new to
LA, raised secular, and curious to learn more about
Judaism. Her first day at Makom Shabbat services, the
shalom chanting opened something deep in her soul. Pam
continued attending Torah classes and services, and even-
tually deepened her commitment to Judaism by studying
with a group of Makomers to become Bat Mitzvah. After
many years singing from the pews, Pam joined Dana Stone
on the bima, co-leading songs and musical prayers, and
playing guitar. Pam loves the spiritual connection and
community she feels at Makom. She also enjoys writing
Jewish songs, creative non-fiction, and screenplays.
