Havurot

By in Havurot

 

The word havurah comes from the word haver, meaning friend. A havurah is a small group of individuals who gather together for a variety of reasons: to socialize, celebrate Jewish holidays, learn more about Judaism, and participate in social action projects.

Most importantly, a havurah provides an opportunity for you to meet others who share your values and interests.

  • Celebrate Jewish holidays together
  • Study together
  • Social action projects
  • Travel together
  • Pray together

Benefits

  • Your Havurah becomes your extended family
  • Havurot create secure and constant ties to the wider Jewish community
  • Havurot help Judaism remain a constant source of joy
 

NEW HAVUROT

New havurot are now being formed, including an new Empty Nesters Havurah and a Single Parents Havurah.

Contact the Membership Director (555) 555.1234 x231.

Whether you are single or married, under 36 or over 50, a family with young children or teenagers, we will get you started on the path to building new lasting friendships.
