Hi Friend of Makom,
You’ve only got 1 day left to win a jar of RAW, LOCAL HONEY from Shoresh's bees at Bela Farm for your sweet New Year. How? Buy your High Holiday ticket by this Friday night to be entered into the honey raffle and SAVE $25! After Friday, ticket prices go up and you won’t have a chance to win the sticky good stuff.

We need your smiling face to tell folks what you love about Makom at our booth at Ashkenaz Festival this Sunday and Monday. Please email Aharon to volunteer.
