Welcome to the 10 and 10 Minyan, an exciting and innovative new Jewish Tefillah Service located in the Pico-Robertson area of Los Angeles, which is modeled after Shira Hadasha in Jerusalem. Our Minyan will start off operating on a monthly basis on Friday Nights. A woman will lead a lively and song filled Kabalat Shabbat and men will lead Mincha and Ma'ariv. Our Minyan embraces as a religious value the inclusion of both men and women in leadership and ritual participation with a commitment to halakhah and Tefillah. Within the context of our halakhic duty to daven, we strive to make Tefillah a spiritual celebration that connects to and nurtures our religious lives as individuals and as a community. The mehitzah (partition) in our Minyan runs approximately down the middle of our space, so that the men’s and women’s sections are side by side. Most importantly, we will only begin those parts of the service that require a Minyan with presence of both both ten men and ten women. We hope to make the most of this opportunity to grow and nurture a community and an environment where everyone can feel involved in a truly engaging Tefillah experience.
