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.

Live Zmanim

For up-to-the-minute daily zmanim, use the MyZmanim widget below when available. The Mekor service schedule above remains the primary davening schedule.

MyZmanim requires an account and a site-specific issued widget embed. To activate the live embed, set MYZMANIM_WIDGET_EMBED_HTML or NEXT_PUBLIC_MYZMANIM_WIDGET_EMBED_HTML to the issued MyZmanim embed code. If MyZmanim gave you a direct iframe URL instead, MYZMANIM_WIDGET_URLand NEXT_PUBLIC_MYZMANIM_WIDGET_URL are still supported.

Weekday Services

Please notify us if you plan to attend weekday minyanim.

Major secular holidays: 8:30 AM

Weekday morning and evening services are followed by a brief halachic insight from Rabbi Hirsch or Rabbi Gotlib. Amud Yomi follows most morning services.

If you are interested in participating in the weekday morning or evening minyan, kindly email admin@mekorhabracha.org and specify the day(s) you are signing up for.

We will send you an email confirmation if the minyan will take place. You can also join the minyan WhatsApp group to stay up to date on everything.

On occasion, you may find the building door locked. If so, please call the shul at (215) 525-4246 and leave a message to gain access, or wait by the door for one of our members to arrive with a building key.
