We’re thrilled to announce the return of Makom’s Shabbat morning services! Please join us for soulful and song-filled services with Torah reading and a devar Torah (Torah teaching).
We’ll also celebrate the bar mitzvah of Nathan Kossoy, whose family is sponsoring a take-home kiddush (Shabbat treats).
As a diverse and inclusive Jewish community, Makom has mens’, womens’, and mixed (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 full traditional liturgy (prayer text).
Covid Precautions
Because Makom’s storefront is too cozy for Covid, we’re renting a much larger space so that we can properly distance. The HVAC system and large, stand-alone HEPA air purifier unit provide good ventilation.
Everyone age 2 and over must wear a mask at all times while in the building. Adults and kids age 5+ must wear surgical mask or respirator (KF94, KN95 or N95); cloth masks are no longer acceptable. We will provide adult- and kid-sized surgical masks for anyone who doesn’t have one. Kids 2-4 should wear whatever mask they will wear consistently and fits best.
Adults, teens, and kids 5+ must provide an enhanced vaccination certificate* with a QR code upon registration. Boosters are required for everyone 18+; teens 12-17 need two doses, and children 5+ need at least one dose; these doses must have been received at least 14 days earlier, ie by February 12. Kids under 5 must remain seated with their parents throughout services. Adults must bring ID with their name and birthdate to services.
Anyone who had symptoms of Covid-19, or who has a household member with a confirmed or suspected case of Covid-19, that began within the last 10 days, must not attend.
*You can download your proof of vaccination from the Ontario website here. If you were vaccinated outside Ontario, you can obtain an Ontario certificate by first reporting your vaccination information to your local public health unit. For Toronto residents, that form is here.
