Minyan Midbar (Desert Minyan) Resumes Friday Eve, November 6 in Santa Fe
Minyan Midbar (Desert Minyan) is a new Shabbat Minyan that began as a pilot program on Shabbat mornings last spring in collaboration with Congregation HaMakom in Santa Fe. The minyan paused during the summer and is now resuming. The minyan was founded by Rabbi Dov Gartenberg, Rabbi Jack Shlachter, and Andrew Grossman. Our vision for the minyan is described HERE.
