Abstract:
The best source for an extended "family" to evolve, within the Jewish Community Center, is the havurah group. Havurot are becoming more and more widespread in Jewish communities throughout North America. The concept, however, is not a new one. Ancient Jews, who were dissatisfied with contemporary aspects of Judaic practice, formed havurah-like groups.
