Havurah Shalom Small Group Meetings
APRIL THROUGH JUNE, TO DISCUSS HAVURAH’S SUSTAINABILITY
We need your help! We are preparing to launch our “Give Back to the Future” endowment campaign and urge you to join your fellow Havurahniks at one of our small-group discussions during April, May or June. Together we will brainstorm how to remain true to our spirit of egalitarianism and also ensure Havurah’s long-term sustainability as a beautiful, vibrant Jewish community. These meetings will not be fundraising events.
The meetings have been scheduled at Havurah and at members' homes. Space is limited at each venue, so RSVP below for a day and location convenient for you.
