Hi Friend of Makom,
Wow! Our first-ever Simhat Torah eve was amazing, with over 100 folks from Makom and Annex Shul coming together to celebrate the completion and renewal of the Torah. Thanks to the the Kiever Synagogue, Sunflower Kitchen, and an anonymous donor for their generosity and to everyone who came for contributing your fantastic ruah (spirit).
If you came to Makom's Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur services, please take a couple minutes to fill out our short survey by this Thursday. We want to know what YOU think!
If you joined us for High Holiday services but haven’t yet paid, please do so today so we can cover the many costs of running High Holiday services. You can see suggested prices here and make your tax-deductible donation here.
Left your prayer book or sweater behind on Yom Kippur? Please contact Rabbi Aaron ASAP so you can claim it.
Have a wonderful week,
Aaron & the Makom Leadership Team (Felicia, Louise, Miriam, and Ruth)

Our diverse downtown Jewish communities will come together for an evening of open, honest, and respectful questioning, listening, and learning with Israel's Consul General and each other.
In order to facilitate a thoughtful, substantive program, please arrive on time.
