Chavurah Program

The Chavurah Program at Temple Emanu-El provides a wonderful experience for everyone who participates! Below are answers to some frequently asked questions.

Joining a chavurah is a great way to make long lasting friendships and become more active at Temple Emanu-El. 

What is a Chavurah? Expand

Chavurah comes from the Hebrew word “chaver” meaning friend or fellowship. Each Chavurah is a small group of Temple members with common interests who come together to socialize, learn and/or celebrate Jewish life. The purpose is to create a smaller, more intimate community within the larger Temple.

When and Where Does a Chavurah Meet? Expand

A Chavurah gets together regularly, typically every 4-8 weeks. The group may meet in members’ homes or go somewhere for an event.

What Does a Chavurah Do? Expand

Each Chavurah defines its own focus and plans its own activities, but many groups have social and educational get-togethers and outings (such as dinners, picnics, sporting events, movie or theater performances), holiday and Shabbat celebrations and social action initiatives. Many Chavurot attend Temple events, religious services or social action programs together.

What’s the Size of a Chavurah? Expand

A Chavurah usually has between 8 and 20 members. However, there is no hard and fast rule.

Why Should I Join a Chavurah? Expand

Because it’s a great way to make new friends, meet other congregants and become more active at Temple Emanu-El!

What Should I Do if I’m Interested in Joining a Chavurah? Expand

Any Temple member is welcome to join a Chavurah. If you’re considering becoming a member of a chavurah, simply complete the HELP US GET TO KNOW YOU… survey below.

New groups are formed throughout the year. A member of the Chavurah Committee will contact you when your Chavurah has been formed.
