Haven’t had a chance to attend Maqam this year? No prob, join us for a singing review of what you've been vibing to in services. Only requirement: you're into music (so, everyone). 

Maqam, meaning “place” in Arabic (like the Hebrew word, “maqom”), maqam is a system of melodic modes which is the foundation of Arabic, Turkish and many other musical traditions. 

In Sephardic Jewish tradition, the maqamat have deep spiritual meaning. Every Torah portion, holiday and lifecycle event has an associated maqam that musically encapsulates the emotion of the moment. So, beginning in September / Elul and over the course of the year, we'll sing through this cycle, following our calendar, and learning a ton of rich and incredible melodies together. We’ll be adding these melodies to our shabbatot throughout the year, too.
