Makom: Jewish Spirituality
At Makom, we explore Jewish spiritual practice and illuminate various aspects of Jewish mysticism. From our daily facilitated meditation sessions to workshops and retreats centered on Jewish contemplative practice, monthly evenings of Jewish chant, the opportunity to study the ethical practice of Mussar, and more, Makom provides an oasis for Jewish spirituality amid the noise of the city.
Makom is also the address for unique classes specially designed to aid your physical and spiritual health and overall wellness. So whether you are a beginner interested in learning more about meditation and how to begin a practice or an experienced practitioner looking for special workshops or urban retreats…
Whatever your Jewish spirit needs to grow, you can find it at Makom.
