Abstract:

The concept of Havurah seems to have taken hold in many groups around the country which see themselves as far outside the orbit of synagogue-federation-agency structures. In Dayton, the opposite have taken place because a community need was identified which could be met by mobilizing our agency, Temple and synagogue resources. We believe ours is the first jointly sponsored community-wide havurah program in the country.
