At Havurat Shalom, we have a great love for davenning (prayer). The singing is spirited, the prayer is focused, and the Torah discussions are thought provoking. Services often include extra readings, discussion, meditation, and other creative additions. We read from the Torah on Shabbat mornings. Services are led by Havurah members.
Our Shabbat services take place every Friday night at 7:00 pm during daylight saving time (6:30 pm during standard time) and every Saturday morning at 10:00 am except for a few select weekends during the year when the Havurah is on retreat. Those weekends will clearly be posted in the events calendar on this page, so feel free to check back here for the latest information. Friday night services are approximately an hour long; Saturday morning services run around two and a half hours.
On the first Shabbat morning of the month at 11:30am we have a separate childrens' service geared towards people ages 4-9. Each month they come together to learn a little Hebrew, study Torah, sing and snack. This service does not take place on the few weekends a year when the Havurah is on retreat.
Year after year people pack into our small building to experience Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur at Havurat Shalom where singing and a sense of community fill the air. All are welcome to attend High Holiday services at the Havurah without tickets or any charge. If you need any disability accommodations for the High Holidays, please email access@thehav.org or contact us by phone/TTY.We also celebrate other Jewish holidays throughout the year. Highlights include davenning in our Sukkah, hilarious Megillah reading and skits on Purim, and all-night Tikkun study sessions on Shavuot.
