Havurot and Groups

At the core of Jewish renewal, a havurah is a small group of individuals and families who celebrate, play and pray together. Havurot (plural) provide a more intimate experience than is possible in our larger congregation. Each havurah has a unique focus. Some of our Beit Sefer Chadash families also form small affinity/ social groups on their own.

Below are a list of current havurot and other small groups. They are usually open to new members although at times they are full.
