Havurah Shalom was founded in the late 1970s by a small group of families focused on creating a dynamic Jewish community. Havurah founding members focused on strong family involvement and a participatory approach to Jewish life, much as we continue to do today.
Our celebration takes place next Sunday from 5:00 - 8:00 pm. Whether you have been a member for 40 years or 40 days, we hope you will join us!
If you can’t join us for the party, you can still contribute to our Mitzvah Moment at the link above. Contact the Havurah office for info about reduced registration amounts. Download the flier for the 40th Anniversary Celebration here.

Play Reading with Emily Simon: God of Vengeance Wednesday, Aug 7th 7:00p to 9:00p To support the joint Shabbaton over Labor Day weekend with Temple Emek Shalom, Emily Simon will lead an informal, participatory play reading of God of Vengeance, on which the play Indecent is based. Act I will be read on Aug. 7 and Act II will be read on Aug. 14. You are invited to attend both evenings, but you can attend only one if you wish.
Each evening will begin with a short show introduction by Emily, who will then assign the parts based upon who shows up and what part they want to be read. Hopefully, there will be enough time after the reading to then discuss the play. Everyone is welcome to participate whether they are attending the Shabbaton, seeing Indecent at another time, have already seen it, or are not seeing it at all.
