Welcome to HaMakom!

HaMakom means The Place. It is one of God's names. Our mission is to be a community of loving-kindness, guided by Jewish principles. Our services are a renewal of traditional practices that weave prayer, learning, singing and community into a meaningful expression of Judaism.  We are a small,  inclusive chavurah with a big heart and great ruach.  We meet for Shabbat services every Saturday at 9:45 AM, and host monthly programs, continuing education, and special events. Our sanctuary is within St. Bede's Church, located at  1601 St. Francis Drive at San Mateo, in Santa Fe New Mexico. Experience the joy of finding your place with us.

Altar Ego- Rabbi Malka Drucker
 

Dearest Chaverim,


One of the joys of our community is seeing the verses of Psalm 92 regularly demonstrated: “They will still bring forth fruit in old age; vigorous and fresh they will be.” Many have entered our community mature and knowledgeable, yet they are adventurous and have been open to new experiences, including the presence of God.   more  

 

Love and Peace,

Rabbi Malka
