No Hebrew School or building fund means very modest dues making this perhaps the most affordable congregation one can find. Yet it is rich in spirit. Members come from many areas of Long Island and Queens to this modest Shul located just a short distance south of the Garden City Hotel. Progressive yet very spiritual and deeply religious Rabbi.

We attended a Bat Mitzvah at Makom NY at Bethpage Worship Center on Thursday October 12, 2017. The…read moresinging was phenomenal and uplifting. It was a visiting cantor from California and she absolutely made the ceremony! It was downhill other than that. I have never been to a religious house of worship where the officiate does not mention the need for thoughts and prayers to go out to community members in need. This particular rabbi did not mention once the devastated people of Texas or Puerto Rico (hurricanes) nor the California raging wildfires. Nor did she mention Jews in oppressive circumstances in Syria (war) and elsewhere in the Middle East. What else is a community for if not to support those in need? A basic tenet of Judaism as noted "Pirke Avot 2:5 Hillel said, do not separate yourself from the community, "was clearly missing from this service. Makom NY's website states the following are included in their mission: Meaningful worship, impactful relationships. Joyous holiday celebrations, learning for all ages and stages, sacred moments and life cycle, social action and outreach and connection to Israel. As for meaningful worship; The Lulav and Etrog were shown and offered but not explained. This was a Bat Mitzvah, it would behoove the officiate to remember that not everyone attending this service is a fully informed Jew. Inclusiveness is necessary to all of the congregants. As for impactful relationships; It was abundantly clear that the Bat Mitzvah girl's mother and family were completely left out of this event. Not one Aliyah for mom, grandmother, grandfather, aunt or any other member of the girl's family. What kind of religion does not honor thy mother? The Rabbi could not have failed to notice this conspicuous absence and yet chose to do nothing. As for social action and outreach; Again, no mention of any kind of those in need. It's a Shanda! After reading about Makom NY (https://www.makomny.org/) we were so interested in seeing what this "new" model of Judaism was about in person, however, after the ceremony, we were completely disappointed. The choices of the rabbi were disgraceful; as a woman, a mother and a Jew, she fell short of her moral responsibilities.
