🌟Makom's Sweet Havdalah Night!🌟

Last Saturday, our Makom community for those in their 20s and 30s gathered for an intimate Havdalah ceremony at Rabbi Antman's apartment. The evening was filled with good food, and even better ritual, as we joined together in the Havdalah service and blessed Rabbi Antman's home by hanging his mezuzah. It was a perfect setting for both new faces and familiar friends to connect. Here’s to many more nights of community and celebration!

Check out those Shabbat 'fits! Jude Kamler, Manager of Strategic Engagement, and Rabbi Max Antman spent last Shabbat at Trybal Gatherings, a special camp experience just for Jewish young adults on the historic campus of Camp CHI in Lake Delton, Wisconsin. Rabbi Antman and Jude spent the weekend making friendships, building community, and connecting with Judaism, all while making the most out of those classic camp activities, and of course - celebrating Shabbat!

Our 20s/30s community is invited to join us this Saturday evening in Uptown for a Makom Havdalah experience and meet n' greet with Rabbi Max Antman! Food, drinks, and ritual included! RSVP at sholomchicago.org/makom!
