Chavurot
A big community feels like home when you have a small circle within it. That is what a chavurah is. Chavurot are small groups of families and friends at Temple Menorah who gather to share, learn, and celebrate Jewish life together, turning a warm congregation into close, lasting friendships.
What is a chavurah?
A chavurah (the plural is chavurot) is a small fellowship group, usually about 6 to 10 families, who meet regularly and grow close over time. The word comes from the Hebrew chaver, meaning friend. Think of it as your extended Jewish family within Temple Menorah: people who celebrate your milestones, support you through hard times, and make holidays and ordinary days a little more meaningful.
What chavurot do together
Every chavurah is a little different, shaped by the people in it. Some gather for Shabbat dinners and holiday celebrations. Others share meals, study, life events, or simply good company. The point is connection, building the kind of friendships where you are known, you belong, and you always have somewhere to turn.
Who they are for
Chavurot are a wonderful way to feel at home, whether you are new to Temple Menorah and looking to make friends, or a longtime member hoping to deepen your connections. Families, couples, singles, and members of every age and stage are welcome.
