Alter Rockers
This group is for Havurah members who are older, perhaps retired, no longer necessarily involved in the Jewish education and activities of children, and looking to have some fun. Even if you don’t fit into any of these categories and want to participate, everyone is welcome! If you are interested, contact Sarah Rosenberg to add your name to the email list and learn about upcoming fun.
Book Group
Organized by Marjorie Walters, this group meets once a month to discuss books with a Jewish theme. Each discussion is led by a different Havurah member. Check our online calendar for upcoming discussions.
