The term Havurah is derived from the Hebrew word haver, which means friend. Havurah reflects a group of Jewish people brought together through the sharing of similar ideas and experiences.  Havurah is about family, friends, having fun, and being connected within your Havurah, the Temple, and the Jewish community.

Each Havurah typically meets on a regular basis.  Each group decides what kinds of activities are of interest to them.

Official membership in a Havurah requires the prerequisite of current membership at Temple Adat Elohim.

The purpose of a Havurah is:

·        To provide a supportive arm of the Temple.

·        To experience the warmth of belonging to an extended family and to celebrate Jewish life within a large community.

·        To enable families to share ideas and experiences with other people who have different viewpoints.

·        To enjoy life!

Below are a few terms that may be helpful:

·        Havurah - One fellowship group

·        Havurot - Many fellowship groups

·        Haver - A member of a Havurah

·        Haverim - More than one member

A Havurah consists of a variety of activities, commitment, planning, and participation.
