Join us on Saturday, February 8th for soulful and song-filled Shabbat morning services, followed by a delicious Shabbat lunch and stimulating learning hosted by Rabbi Aaron! We'll be learning on the topic: "The Gift of Fire".
Through interactive text study and lively discussion, we'll explore the origins of fire in Torah, Midrash, Talmud, Greek myth, and Sasha Semidotski's new artwork gracing Makom's front window. No prior Jewish learning necessary. All sources will be presented in Hebrew/Aramaic and English.
*Lunch registration required by Friday, February 7 at 12 noon.*
Please try to come on time so we can start services strong with a double minyan,* especially for anyone saying kaddish.

As a diverse and inclusive Jewish community, Makom has mens', womens', and all-genders' seating sections. Female, male, and gender non-binary Jews can lead parts of services, read and be called up to the Torah, and count in our double minyanim of both 10 Jewish men and 10 Jews regardless of gender. Makom services follow the traditional Ashkenazi liturgy (prayer text).
Makom welcomes participants of all abilities. Makom's main space is wheelchair accessible; unfortunately, the washroom and playroom are not. There are wheelchair accessible washrooms one block away at the coffee shop at the corner of Bathurst and College. If you have an accessibility need or require any accommodations, please reach out to us.
