Chavurot, or Small Groups
A chavurah is a small, informal group of families, couples, or individuals who share common interests. The group meets together on a regular basis and each group defines its own goals. It is an easy and informal way to develop close, wonderful relationships and thus support the Temple. The word Chavurah or Chevreh comes from the Hebrew word chaver, meaning friend. One of the benefits of Temple membership is that only Temple members are eligible to be matched into a Chavurah.

After you fill out an application providing information about your interests and desires for your chavurah, the Chavurah Committee will put you in touch with other congregants of similar interests. For more information, please contact our Chavurah Chair by emailing chavurah@adatshalom.comor leave a message in the Temple office (858.451.1200).
