A chavurah or havurah ( חבורה -- "fellowship", plural havuroth) is a small group of like-minded Jews who assemble for the purposes of facilitating Shabbat and holiday prayer services, sharing communal experiences such as lifecycle events, and Jewish learning.
As the group expands in both size and range of activities, many members have started to question whether the name "Havurah" still adequately communicates who we are and everything that we do. This discussion is ongoing, and may lead to a name change later in 2008.
