| the havura |
Founded in June 1988, the havura is a group of friends and friends-of-friends in the New York City area who meet once a month on Friday nights (sometimes) for traditional Conservative style egalitarian services and (always for) a kosher potluck vegetarian dinner. The havura meets in member's apartments. Newcomers are always welcome.

Helping Out: Coordinating a Dinner Coordinators are always needed to help coordinate a havura dinner. A Havura Potluck Shabbat Dinner Planning Guide is available. Helping Out: Hosting Hosts are always needed to host a havura in their apartment. Host's apartments need to be located on the Upper West Side. A host needs to supply a space for at least 20 people to sit and schmooze as well as a place to set out a buffet. The host's apartment does not have to be kosher. Air conditioning is a requirement to host during warmer months. Contact Michael (212/678-7881 before 9:00pm or Michael_Brochstein@MABsystems.com) if you are interested in helping out. Thank you ahead of time! |
