Havurah

Welcome to the lay-led services of the Havurah of Temple Beth Hillel-Beth El!

Traditional Conservative: As an alternative service of Temple Beth Hillel- Beth El, a Conservative Synagogue, we pray using a Conservative Siddur. Our service follows traditional rituals and includes a full Torah reading.

Lay-Led: We share the responsibility among our members for all aspects of the service.

Egalitarian: Men and women participate fully and equally in all aspects of our service.

Family-Friendly: We welcome families with children to our services and events. A play area with toys is provided, and children are encouraged to help lead parts of the service.

Community-Oriented: We build strong bonds by worshiping together, enjoying social and celebratory times, and supporting each other in hard times. Following services, we join with the full congregation for Kiddish, which allows for friendly conversation.

Participatory: We encourage participation from everyone as he or she is able. We depend on our members giving of their skills, talents, and time to make our service and all aspects of our community life happen.

Caring: Our Hesed Committee is very involved in our community and helps care for the needs of our members, whether it be after the birth of a baby, during and recovery from illness, or at times of shiva and mourning.

Welcoming: We welcome everyone to join our community, regardless of personal religious observance.
