The Chavurah Program
 |
|
|
A Chavurah is a small group of up to 20 CBI members
who join together to celebrate Jewish life. Through programs of study, observances
of holidays and festivals, socializing and sharing of simchas,
and participating together in synagogue life and community concerns, members
personalize and vitalize their Jewish experience. We currently have 27 Chavurot,
some of which have been in existence for 26 years. Applications are available
to form a new Chavurahor to join an existing
one.
The Chavurah Program at Congregation Beth Israel
provides a wonderful shared Jewish experience for everyone who participates.
It is one of the many ways to enhance your experience as a Temple member. We
encourage you to join a Chavurah.
- What is a Chavurah?
Chavurah (plural is Chavurot)
comes from the Hebrew word, chaver, meaning
friend, or fellowship. Each Chavurah is
a small group of Temple members who come together to learn, to socialize
and to enjoy Jewish living with their families. They study together, worship
together, celebrate Jewish holidays together, eat together. For many, the Chavurah is
an extended family.

- What Does A Chavurah Do?
The Chavurah celebrates Jewish life. Through
programs of study, observances of holidays and festivals, socializing and
sharing of simchas, members personalize and
vitalize their Jewish experience. They also participate together in Temple
life and in community concerns.
A Chavurah provides a unique opportunity
for self-growth, involvement, friendship, and for a feeling of true belonging.
The programs are self-directed. Responsibility for activities rests with
the members of the Chavurah.
- When And Where Does A Chavurah Meet?
A Chavurah usually meets once a month, in
the homes of the members, in rotation. Each group decides on the most convenient
dates and times for themselves.
- How Large Is A Chavurah?
Each group should have approximately twenty people. However, there are no
hard and fast rules about the size. Chavurot exist
for families and for individuals.
- How Do I Join A Chavurah?
Print and complete a Chavurah Application.
You will be contacted soon afterwards. New Chavurot are
formed on the basis of age, children, spheres of interest, etc. You will
be placed in a Chavurah just as soon as enough
applications are received to form a new group, or if there is an opening
in an existing Chavurah which fits your needs.
