Our activities are led by our members and guided by their interests.

havurah book club

We are a group of Havurah members who like to read and discuss books that are informed by Jewish values. We read fiction and non-fiction books, many of which are directly related to Judaism or Jewish history. We’re an informal group, where you’re free to attend whichever meeting interests you, whether or not you’ve read the book. We meet on Saturdays from 4:00 – 5:30 pm every 6 to 8 weeks.  If you’d like to join the Book Club or have any questions, please contact Cathy Levin or Peggy Greenfeld.

DINING with Adults

Join Havurah friends and new members for our first “Dining With Adults!” This is new series of monthly meals for camaraderie, conversation, and various types of cuisine. This month we will meet at Ripplewood Whiskey and Craft in Ardmore. Enjoy an evening of good conversation at what is described as a “refined retro restaurant.”
