We are a diverse community and actively welcome participants of all ages; religious, racial, and ethnic backgrounds; sexual orientations; gender identities; and approaches to Jewish practice. Makom Members include those who are Jewishly disaffected, unaffiliated, and committed; religiously observant and more liberal; Jews-by-choice and people at all stages of their conversion journey; singles, couples, and families; interfaith couples and families; children of all ages through older adults; and those who identify in many other ways.

Makom's Mission
Makom: Creative Downtown Judaism is a diverse and inclusive community fusing Jewish tradition and progressive values through spirituality, learning, and culture.
Makom Afterschool provides high-quality, pluralistic Jewish and Hebrew-language education in three neighbourhood public schools to students in Junior Kindergarten through Grade 5. Children from the diversity of downtown Jewish families find their place in our warm and welcoming community.
In Makom ATID, Jewish pre-teens and teens discover the wisdom Judaism holds for their maturing minds and bodies in today’s world. Students in Grades 6-8 gather twice a week for nuanced, pluralistic Jewish learning; Hebrew conversation and literacy; and hanging out with their peers.
