Use your synagogue skills at the Ohel Minyan

Serve as a shaliach tsibbur (prayer leader) 

The Ohel Minyan is participatory and entirely lay-led. If you would like to be a shaliach tzibbur at the Ohel Minyan, please click here to familiarize yourself with our practices.

Chant from the Torah 

We read Torah on Monday and Thursday mornings, and at any Shabbat morning or mincha service we hold. 

The Ohel Minyan welcomes novice as well as experienced leyners (Torah readers). In fact, a number of people have learned to leyn through their involvement with the Ohel Minyan. Our leyning coordinator, Sam Grossman, can match you with just the right size Torah reading for your capacity and your schedule. Contact Sam to find out more and/or sign up. You can find and join the Ohel Leyners WhatsApp group here.

Serve as a gabbai for Torah reading 

If you are comfortable serving as a gabbai for Torah reading, let us know! Here is what we at the Ohel Minyan expect the gabbai rishon and the gabbai sheni to do. 

Join the behind-the-scenes Ohel magic-making

The Ohel Minyan happens because people give their time, energy, and love to making it happen. We'd love you to join in!

Do you love Shabbat davening and meals at the Ohel?

If you love trad-egal, singing-forward davening, table-banging singing, getting know people over Friday night dinner without having to cook, then maybe you’d like to join the Shabbat events team. Email Mara Benjamin to get involved.

Do you love studying Torah? Do you want to help us offer skills classes?

Do you love learning and helping others learn? We'd love to have you join the Learning team. This team creates opportunities to study Torah, and works to give people the support and resources they need to engage in Torah study. Email Ben Barer to get involved.
