and different ways: Musical Friday night Services, intimate Shabbat Dinners, Torah Study, morning Shabbat services and a variety of special Shabbat experiences. 
Musical Shabbat Services
We gather on select Friday evenings (often the First Friday of the month, and sometimes more) for Community Musical Shabbat Experiences. We sing together, pray together, and simply join together as a community to support one another. This experience is a great way to have a spiritual and uplifting celebration of Shabbat. Come with friends and meet new ones as well. Share in the joy of Shabbat. Introduce new people to MakomNY. We look forward to getting to know you.

Summertime Shabbat in the Park Services
During the summer months, we enjoy the nice weather by joining together for a musical, casual, lively Shabbat in the Park experience. We begin casually with Bring Your Own Picnic dinner, and then we join in a participatory service. We meet under the pavilion at the park in Plainview, and there is a playground near by for children to play.

Shabbat Morning Torah Study
We gather most Shabbat mornings in more intimate spaces for Torah Study and learning. We dig deep into the text, examining carefully the commentaries and the story. Newcomers and experienced learners are all welcome. CLICK HERE FOR DATES OF UPCOMING TORAH STUDY 
Shabbat Morning Services
We gather often on Shabbat mornings in prayer and community, celebrating with our B'nai Mitzvah students. We typically gather at the Bethpage Worship Center, and all are invited for this lovely service, led by Rabbi Bravo, often with a Cantorial soloist, and our B'nai Mitzvah students. We offer prayers of healing and mourning, for those in need. CLICK HERE FOR DATES OF SHABBAT MORNING SERVICE DATES
