A Reform Congregation Serving the Twin Cities

Chavurot: Creating Community

A Chavurah is a small group of families, couples, or individuals who share common interests and the desire to meet together on a regular basis.

A Chavurah is a small group of families, couples, or individuals who share common interests and the desire to meet together on a regular basis. These meetings help to create a personal sense of Jewish belonging and community within the larger congregation. Your chavurah group will decide what focus the group will have, and can include a variety of different activities such as celebrating holidays together, torah study, theatre outings, and of course meals. They usually meet monthly in the homes of members.

If you would like to participate in a chavurah at Shir Tikvah, please fill out the interest form on the shir tikvah website, or contact Linda Alter via email at alterhomes@mindspring.com, or call her at 651-698-4994. You may be placed with an existing chavurah depending on your interests, or when enough new requests are gathered, a new group will be formed.
