Makom

INTIMATE, CREATIVE JEWISH COMMUNITY IN CHICAGO

MAKOM MEANS "PLACE OF CONNECTION" IN HEBREW

Makom creates a place of connection for spiritual seekers, cultural Jews, people who are Jew-ish and/or new to Judaism.

 

Makom is one of Temple Sholom's community groups (you do not need to be a member to participate, but you can learn more about membership here) and brings together individuals and couples ages 21-39.

MEET RABBI MAX ANTMAN

Rabbi Max Antman serves as the Assistant Rabbi at Temple Sholom. He loves Makom because it allows him to collaborate with people like you to make Judaism accessible, relevant to modern life, and fun.

Rabbi Antman enjoys hiking, baking challah, and playing a good board game with friends.

 

Connect with Rabbi Antman on zoom or in person at https://www.sholomchicago.org/rabbi-antman.

MORE INFO

 

One of the ways we build, strengthen, and sustain our spiritual community here at Temple Sholom is through membership commitment.

 

Becoming a member at a synagogue is more than just a financial commitment - it means creating a mutually sustaining relationship with our community, where we can lift up the important work of tikkun olam (repairing the world), tzedakah (righteous giving), while creating vibrant progressive Jewish life in Chicago.


Makom membership includes:

  • High Holiday Tickets

  • Discounted registration to select Makom events

  • Access to world class speakers and educational opportunities provided by Temple Sholom

  • Supporting and connecting to a loving, sacred, multi-generational Jewish community in Chicago

In support of these values, we are pleased to offer a Makom Individual Membership at a special rate of $36/month for individuals ages 21-35. 

 

If you are interested in Makom membership, please contact Jude Kamler at jude@sholomchicago.org.
