Kiddush Preparation
We are famous for our wonderful kiddush every Shabbat, but it doesn’t happen by itself. Thanks to our community volunteers, we enjoy an amazing kiddush week after week.
Volunteering to set up kiddush is a great way to give back to the community. Please, consider signing up to make cholent before candle lighting or to setup and take down kiddush on Shabbat and Yom Tov. Please contact mekorhabracha[email protected] to volunteer or to send your suggestions and comments. |
Torah and Haftorah Reading
In order to provide the community with quality Torah and haftarah reading, we need capable people from the community to provide this invaluable service. If you know how to read Torah or haftarah, and would like to volunteer to lain, please send us an email for more information. We would love to hear some new voices!
If you are a little rusty or do not know how to read Torah and would like to learn, please reach out. |

Center City Mikvah Preparation
The Mekor Habracha Center City Mikvah committee, led by recently appointed Mikvah President and Mekor member Yah-el Har-el, is working hard to get the project started. Mekor Habracha has been at the forefront of these efforts, raising a serious amount of money from within our community and taking leadership roles upon themselves.
The Mikvah project still needs volunteers to help with the building stage, so please send us an email if you would like to volunteer for this vital community effort. |
