Davening

Shabbat and Weekday Services Schedule

Service times vary seasonally. It is preferred that you RSVP by Friday afternoon by emailing admin@mekorhabracha.org.

However, an RSVP is not required, and you can safely assume there will be a minyan even if you arrive without having RSVP'd. Join the WhatsApp thread and email us to help confirm weekday attendance.
