Havurah (Circle of Friends)

Join a TAE Havurah – Find Your Community

A Havurah is a small group of temple partners who gather to celebrate Jewish life, share experiences, and build lasting friendships. Whether you’re a family with young children, an empty nester, or someone looking for meaningful connections, there’s a Havurah for you!

Are you looking for deeper connections within our TAE community? 

With a congregation as large as Temple Adat Elohim, Havurot enable congregants to establish meaningful relationships in a very personal setting. By joining a Havurah, you solidify your commitment to support our synagogue. Your Havurah can be your family’s link to the temple, as well as to other families with shared interests. It can even become your extended family!
