High Holy Days

HIGH HOLY DAYS

Welcome to MakomNY. We invite you to celebrate the holiness and joy of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur with MakomNY. All are welcome. Services are led by Rabbi Deborah Bravo, with musical director David Bravo.

The MakomNY community welcomes people from all backgrounds. We have intentionally created a pluralist and intergenerational community that meets the diverse needs of the individuals, couples and families who participate. People come from both liberal and traditional backgrounds; we have interfaith couples and families, singles, millennials, seniors and more.

MakomNY’s High Holy Day Season includes services, programming, learning and communal festive holiday meals. Our services include Hebrew prayers with transliteration, so everyone can follow along. We supplement our services with beautiful, intentional, spiritual readings, meditations and insights in English.

HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2018 HIGH HOLIDAYS WITH MAKOMNY

Services take place at the Bethpage Worship Center (formerly the Bethpage Jewish Community Center) at 600 Broadway in Bethpage, with its beautiful sanctuary and warm feel.
On Second Day of Rosh Hashanah, we offer a 'Meditation and Mindfulness', Adult Learning and Children's Activities prior to services.
On Yom Kippur, we offer two Yizkor services, at 12:30pm and 5:30pm, to accommodate the varying needs of our community.
At the end of Yom Kippur, we offer a Community Break-Fast (RSVP's required on registration page).

We continue to offer a Yom Kippur Mitzvah project, which was a big hit the past two years for families and individuals alike. We will also continue to offer our Erev Rosh Hashanah community dinner at Rabbi Bravo's home, by prior reservation.

For security purposes, all adults and children attending any High Holy Day services or programs must register in advance. Please understand that we cannot accommodate walk-ins.

As a new model for Jewish community, one that does not have a traditional dues or membership model, we rely on the support of our participants to offer the high-quality programming and services that you expect from MakomNY.

If you are able to support MakomNY as Shorashim with a minimum monthly or annual donation, there are no additional fees for 2018 High Holy Days services. (Minimum donation must be made by September 1 to qualify.)

If you are not able to become one of our Shorashim donors at this time, and solely want to reserve your space for the MakomNY High Holy Day Services and Programs, we would love to have you.
