Message from our Rabbi - March 15, 2022
During these challenging times, please know that MakomNY is here for you. Please let us know how we can best support you. As we move to the endemic stage of this pandemic, based on CDC and NYS guidelines, we are beginning to ease our Covid guidelines. We move to mask-optional this week for all in-person programs. Vaccination proof is no longer required. We continue to remain in-person for some programs and virtual for others, but we continue to be here as a community. Our Shabbat evening services are back in-person and on FB Live. We look forward to seeing you soon!
---Rabbi Deborah K. Bravo

OUR RABBI
RABBI DEBORAH BRAVO
"On my journey, I have made connections with thousands of people, and each has made me a better Rabbi, and more importantly a better person. My fervent hope and vision for the future is for MakomNY to forever grow and evolve as a community that attracts engagement in Jewish life, and embraces each person who may not otherwise feel part of a Jewish community. We are here to meet people where they are on their individual journey with Judaism. We do so by helping each person to flourish, and by making Judaism the vehicle for flourishing. I cherish serving the community, and find great joy in building relationships each day within our community - with children, teens and adults. I love that so many have found a place, a Makom, here. I hope you will get to know us." Deborah Bravo

OUR MODEL
"Our ROOTS are our history, deeply planted in tradition.
Like a tree, the roots are bare, showing what we have in common.
We share the same past; we remain strong because our roots are strong."
