Chavurah

Connecting in smaller groups

Through our Chavurah Program, Beth Chaim offers members another opportunity to get to know, and develop relationships with, other families within our congregation.

As part of a chavurah, you will get together with other Beth Chaim members in a small group setting. While having fun at social events and holiday celebrations, you will strengthen your connection to the Beth Chaim community and make lasting friendships. Particularly in today’s world, our members find forming these meaningful connections to be of great value.

Chavurah FAQ

What is a Chavurah?

A Chavurah (literally translated as a “friendship circle”) is a small group of members who get together to socialize, celebrate, learn together. Members find that belonging to a chavurah enriches their experience at Beth Chaim through meaningful relationships, positive connections, and shared experiences.
How does it work?
Who organizes the events?

We suggest that the group chooses a coordinator who can help with communication and to ensure that each host has what they need for the activity to run smoothly.

Do I have to attend every event? It is not required that you attend every event, but we have found that the more you attend, the greater the group cohesion will be.
