Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur with Makom!
September 5-6 & 13-14
Makom is delighted to be providing joyous, song-filled and participatory High Holiday services again this year! We’ll be gathering in beautiful Hart House to meet the Yamim Nora’im as a community with joy and awe. We hope you’ll plan to join us for Rosh Hashanah, September 5- 6, and Yom Kippur, September 13-14. Tickets will be on sale soon; watch for upcoming Makom announcements for more details.
We need your help with important volunteer roles! Please consider devoting some time and effort to help make Makom’s High Holidays run smoothly so they can be an uplifting experience for all. The main volunteer roles are:
