Jewish
Reconstructionist Federation
Every member contributes a new perspective and different background, creating a constantly evolving expression of Judaism. This rich diversity is manifested in the composition of holiday services and celebrations, some of which are written by members. Events are led by Rabbi Karen Landy a Reconstructionist Rabbi. On the High Holydays Rabbi Karen and our long time Chazan, David Hastings lead our service. Traditional Jewish practices are observed with modern interpretations and forms of expression.
Havurat Shalom provides a warm extended family to single parents, those without children, families of mixed heritage and families who have been or are members of any other Jewish congregation or have not recently practiced Judaism. Since the group functions on a cooperative basis, the active participation of every member is necessary. A wide variety of activities is offered, reflecting the varied interests of the members of the group. These include discussions (havurah), tzedakeh activities, social get-togethers, excursions to cultural events and children's workshops.
The Religious School of Havurat Shalom provides a curriculum which includes Hebrew language training, cultural and ethnic education and holiday celebrations. Classes are taught by experienced teachers with small groups of 8-12 children per class. Grades 3-6 meet once a week for 90 minutes. For information on the Religious school program.
