Havurah Shalom
L'Shana Tova!
As we have for more than 30 years, Havurah Shalom will offer free and open seating at our High Holidays services this year. No RSVP, ticket or fee is required. You can find the service schedule on our High Holidays web page. We are able to open our doors to everyone during High Holidays thanks to generous gifts of time from our community members and generous donations from all who support this mitzvah. Your donations here are greatly appreciated.
Havurah Shalom is a diverse, egalitarian and welcoming Reconstructionist community in the Pacific Northwest. We work together to bring the full meaning and wisdom of our Jewish heritage into our lives.
