Makom Community

Makom Community Makom Community integrates daily afterschool enrichment, camp, and family learning experiences where we ignite joy for whole family Jewish learning.

Makom Community is a meaningful and vibrant learning community. We integrate daily afterschool, camp, and family learning experiences where we ignite joy for whole family Jewish engagement. As students and families, we are in conversation with Jewish text and ideas as we play and create together, joining the generations before us in constructing a personally meaningful relationship with Jewish tra

dition, values, and holidays. At Makom Community, Jewish ideas, text, and values become an integral part of daily life. Makom Community provides daily, high-quality afterschool care and Jewish education for children ages 4-11. We enroll students in Pre-K through 5th grade. Each studentโ€™s learning is project-based and child-led. Shabbat is a highlight of every week at Makom Community. Each Friday, families are invited for a family-centered celebration of Shabbat. Younger siblings, grandparents, and friends are always welcome!. Our students prepare food and learning to share. Weโ€™ll sing, dance, eat together, and enjoy each otherโ€™s company!
