Committees and Activities
As Havurah Shalom grows, so does our need for participation in our services, youth and adult education programs, committees and activities. We encourage our members to find areas in which to become involved, and to actively do so. Contact the Havurah office at (503) 248-4662. Our members are Havurah Shalom’s best resource.
