Havurah Shalom
We are excited to bring mahjong back to Havurah. For Havurah members, this is a fun, social activity that builds community, encouraging new friendships and cementing old ones. And while some of us may play elsewhere as well, we all agreed that restoring its place as an ongoing congregational activity will be a good fit for Havurah and those of us who play or want to learn the game.

All are welcome! The service is geared toward families with children ages 5-11. Our Yom Kippur Family Service helps people of all ages focus on our yearly tradition of celebration and renewal, with favorite songs and prayers, the Jonah story, and a chance to connect with others. We are holding this service later in the day so that families can easily stay for the Mincha service with teen leadership, and for Ne’ilah, our short and sweet closing service to Yom Kippur. This service will not be streamed.
