The goal of The Havurah Project is to bring our Beth-El community closer by welcoming Shabbat together in small groups. Every month, one or two members of each Havurah (individuals, couples, or families) host the other members of their group for a Shabbat meal.  Each group will also be hosted by Rabbi Salston in her home one time during the season. In addition, there will be an Opening and Closing Event for all havurot participants.

Open to folks of every age, all that’s required is a desire to form meaningful relationships and a commitment to participate monthly. The registration fee is $22 per person (8 years old and up).   If you have any financial concerns or questions related to the Havurah Project, please reach out to Debbie, Marsha, or Rachel.

Logged in members can see the full schedule, including the B'nai Mitzvah Havurah information.  First log into your account (upper right corner of this screen), then the schedule will populate below .
