Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Email admin@mekorhabracha.org with 'Join Us' in the subject line to join the WhatsApp group, then come to a service on the davening schedule..

You can just show up.

What to expect

The site does not describe a first visit in detail, so the office is the best place to ask what to expect. Shabbat morning prayers begin at 9:15 am, and a hot kiddush follows around 11:30 am. The page says the shul welcomes members and nonmembers alike, but it does not say what visitors pay.

Tips for your first visit

  • Call the office at 215-525-4246 before your first visit to ask what to wear and which entrance to use.
  • Check the davening schedule for current times, since winter times differ from summer.
  • If cost is a concern, ask about the payment plans the page says are available.

Newcomer welcome

Welcoming to newcomers (4 out of 5). Why we say this: The homepage says visitors are welcome and gives a WhatsApp route and a newsletter sign-up. The visit page does not describe a first visit or say whether you must register..
