About Family Chavurah

We are a group of families that share the love for Jewish learning and living. We come from different walks of life, and are together because we believe in sharing ideas, growing together, and passing down to the next generation the passion that has kept us alive for over three millennia.

Our services are traditional, yet egalitarian. Our prayer book brings all prayers in both Hebrew and transliteration so that every one can participate in the service. No prior knowledge is needed to enjoy the spirituality of our services. Even though we have a Rabbi, everyone participates – in one way or another – in our services.

Instead of a traditional Hebrew School, which we believe is an ineffective model in the 21st century, we hold classes and workshops for families. We work with the whole family unit, which allows us to teach much more than can be taught in a couple of hours in a traditional school setting. The curriculum is tailored in accordance with where the family knowledge is and with their goals. Please check out our Education page for more information.

We believe that our youngsters need to continue involved in Jewish life after the Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebration. We have designed a Youth Program that combines learning, community service and social activities, all in one.

Our Rabbi is available for life cycle events - baby namings, Bar and Bat Mitzvah services, weddings, and funerals - and for pastoral counseling.
