Lifelong Learning

Havurah Shalom is a community in which people of all ages can challenge and expand their Jewish learning. As a Reconstructionist Jewish community, we seek to balance  a profound respect for Jewish values, texts, customs, history, and ideas about the world with a recognition of personal autonomy. Each individual comes to find and create  relevance in his/her own way.

Havurah Shalom offers a wide variety of classes, informal learning opportunities, and gatherings to enrich one’s sense of community , knowledge, and connection.
