Where:
This year, all services will take place at Urbane Arts Club at 1016 Beverley Rd Brooklyn, NY.
The ticket price that serves to sustain this community is $54 per service, $18 for Selichot. We will never turn anyone away for lack of funds, so please pay what you can. We deeply appreciate all contributions that allow us to continue offering these services.
Please note you must get tickets for each service individually!
Accessibility:
While the main ballroom of Urbane Arts Space is accessible via a ramp, the bathroom is not. The bathroom is up a flight of stairs and unfortunately, there is no ramp to access it.
KN95 masks are required for participants for the duration of services. Prayer leaders will test beforehand and will not be masked during services. Weather permitting, doors will be kept open to allow fresh air flow as much as possible. If you feel sick or have any COVID symptoms, please stay home.
*Masking will be required during Neilah except for during the break fast. We will have outdoor eating areas on the porch and in the courtyard.
Volunteer:
If you would like to volunteer to help out with any of our services, please fill out this form.
Workshops:
True to the Sephardi tradition, our services are meant to be as participatory as possible. In order to familiarize yourself with and practice the melodies we will be using, we invite you to a Moroccan Nusach workshop on September 3 at 1:00 pm. Please sign up for the Zoom here. If you want to attend and cannot make that time, please sign up anyway and you will receive a recording of the teaching portion of the class.
These offerings are supported by IfNotNow’s BIJOCSM Caucus, JFREJ’s Mizrahi & Sephardi Caucus, and Jewish Voice for Peace’s BIJOCSM Network.
