Wings of the Dove

The Wings of the Dove Campaign will lift the Havurah community to new

heights, expanding the potential of our congregation in new spaces

where we will gather, work, learn, sing and celebrate for years to come.

Our History

For over 45 years, Havurah Shalom has thrived as a participatory congregation. You can tell we have something special, just look at our huge growth over the past 25 years. Since we moved into our current building our membership has soared from 180 to 500 households.
 
Havurah Shalom’s signature quality is its wide, inclusive participation. As it has been through every step of Havurah’s amazing history—hiring our Rabbi,  buying and renovating our building, hiring our Educator, creating its endowment—only the participation of every member household can make Wings of the Dove take flight to ensure Havurah Shalom’s future and its ability to serve our needs.

Torah on Parade: On the left a man with a baseball cap wearing a blue tallit is carying a large Torah scroll with a dark blue cover with gold trim. A woman with short hair is left of the man. She is wearing a white tallit and carrying a large Torah scroll with a white cover with gold trim. Both are smiling. Immediately behind the man and the woman, a large group of people are walking behind them. In the background, it's fall so the trees have yellow, green, and red leaves.
