Havurah
The CSAIR Havurah is a traditional, egalitarian minyan committed to spirited prayer and engaging learning in a warm and intimate atmosphere. The Havurah is entirely lay-led; members lead t’fillot, read Torah and Haftarah, and give Divrei Torah. The Havurah meets approximately twice per month, usually for Shabbat morning services in CSAIR’s Taub Room, but occasionally at other times and places, as well. Please join us!
The Havurah is proud to be multigenerational, with members who range from older adults to families to singles. The Havurah welcomes families to bring their small children. On a typical Shabbat, numerous small children can be found playing and reading in the Taub Room as their parents participate in the prayer and study.
The Havurah is also a community. It is a network of friends who worship together, celebrate together, and support each other. About once a month, the Havurah gathers for a Shabbat or holiday meal, either at the synagogue or at a member’s home. When members have new babies or face an illness or death, the Havurah helps by providing meals and other support to the family.
The Havurah is an integral part of the CSAIR community. It sponsors synagogue-wide events every year, such as the Simhat Torah Kiddush, Tu B’Shvat Seder, refreshments on Purim night, and the Tikkun Leil Shavuot all-night study session.
