Please register for lunch by Friday, Jan 10 at 12 noon.
Become a Makom Member first and save 10%. Services don’t require registration.
We have various price options so that finances aren’t an impediment to anyone’s participation.
At lunch, Daphna Jackson will teach us on “Toratah: The Regendered Bible.”
Daphna Jackson is a lay educator with Beit Toratah, a project of Yael Kanarek and Tamar Biala to reconsider the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) through a matriarchal structure by changing the genders of the Biblical characters. Daphna leads study sessions and contributes to the English translation of the Toratah text as a co-editor.
Daphna works as a physiotherapist specializing in pediatrics and previously served on Makom’s Board of Directors.
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).
