Darkhei Noam meets for Shabbat morning services most weeks on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Download a schedule of special events for Winter/Spring 2008 here.

Founded in March 2002, Darkhei Noam provides a davening experience that is traditional, inclusive, and inspiring. We invite you to join us.

At Darkhei Noam, women lead pesukei dezimrah, hotza'at vehakhnasat sefer torah (the Torah service), and fully participate in keriyat ha-torah (Torah reading). This is done in the context of a traditional minyanwith ten men and a mehitzah.

To learn more about the halakhot surrounding women's participation in Torah reading, you can read Rabbi Mendel Shapiro's halakhic analysis of these issues in the Edah Journal.
