High School
High School
Havurah's High School provides an environment in which students, with the guidance of educators, challenge, question, and appreciate their Jewish identity. Emphasis is also placed on developing lifelong friendships with other students.
The high school program strives to identify and explore what students are interested in. In prior years, through film, art, and other activities, students have explored and considered undocumented youth, the complicated politics of the Middle East, and tikkun olam projects.

Meeting Times
Havurah High meets on most Wednesday evenings during the school year, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Each class begins with dinner (6:30 to 7:00 pm), when students socialize with each other and with Havurah's Middle School students. Then students have class from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. Additional activities occur on other dates. Check our online calendar for dates.
Parent Participation
All parents participate in facilitating the High School program. Some join Middle School parents in providing dinner on class nights, while others plan activities. At times, parents are also asked to drive students to events.

Nov 26Book Discussion Group: Flight Behavior
Tuesday, Nov 26th 7:00p to 8:30p
Dellarobia, a restless farm wife who gave up her own plans when she accidentally became pregnant at seventeen, has spent a decade of domestic disharmony on a failing farm. She seeks escape through a flirtation with a younger man. While hiking up a mountain road toward a secret tryst, she encounters a shocking sight: a silent, forested valley that looks like a lake of fire. While she understands it as a cautionary miracle, a raft of other explanations is heard from scientists, religious leaders, and the media. Rural farmers cone into unexpected contact with urbane journalists, opportunists, sightseers, and a striking biologist with his own stake in the outcome. The community judges Dellarobia and her miracle, while she confronts her family, her church, her town, and a larger world, in a flight toward truth that could undo all she has ever believed. “Kingsolver has written one of the more thoughtful novels about the scientific, financial and psychological intricacies of climate change….” (Ron Charles, Washington Post) Discussion led by Andy Beers. -
