Welcoming Committee
Welcoming Committee
The Welcoming Committee, chaired by Wendi Castineira (log in with member account to access member directory), works to ensure that our community is welcoming.
They host welcome teas for new and prospective members, welcome new members with phone calls and homemade challah, welcome newborns with knitted booties and kippot, and inspire all Havurah members to be intentionally welcoming.
To the left, new members receive homemade challah from the Welcoming Committee.
