Congregation Havurah - Williamsville, NY

What Does Havurah Mean?

Havurah means "friend." We have been described as a group of people who care about one another.

"That's what I felt when you were all so supportive during the loss of my Dad. The services you performed and your condolences will long be remembered."

Congregation Havurah began with a small group of people who yearned for something different and more personal, something that transcended the boundaries of religious philosophy, a building, or a rabbi -- a way to address social issues, and place religion in the context of both the Jewish community and the greater community.
