Participate in Lay-Led Weekly Services
As a lay-led community, Darkhei Noam’s weekly services are led and coordinated entirely by volunteers. There is no need for prior experience to participate in weekly services. Our coordinators can connect community members to teachers and resources to learn how to lead any portion of the service, including davening, leining, acting as a gabbai, and giving a D'var Torah. Please reach out to our coordinators or fill out the volunteer form to learn more. We’d love to hear from you!
