It has been said that Shabbat, a day of rest, is Judaism’s most radical idea. A time to balance our human doing’s with our human being. Come join us! If you would like to volunteer to host, or have an idea for a theme let us know.
Shabbat Shalom.
The mission of the Jewish Community Havurah of Eugene is to create a community that celebrates and shares Shabbat.
Celebrate
Shabbat with the JCHE. We gather in homes and share ritual, potluck & theme
most Friday Evenings (schedule inside). Havurah events are open to all. Guests
are always welcome. Most of our events and our newsletter are by donation. To
get on the mailing or email list call the Havurah phone, email us, or give a
governing member your address and phone number.
We are a volunteer organization. We rely on your donations to pay for the newsletters, stamps and phone. Send donations to The Havurah. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible donation make your check out to Ad Olam and write Havurah in the memo and we’ll send a receipt. For more information on membership click here.
The
JCHE is part of Ad Olam, a non-profit outreach program bringing the spirit of
Universal Judaism to the community. In addition to our Havurah Shabbats, Rabbi
Ad-Olam is a religious and educational outreach program to Jews and non-Jews alike who want to connect with and learn about Jewish spirit and traditions.
Rabbi Hanan Sills invites you to participate in holiday events, classes, Shabbos Services and is available for bar/bat mitzvah preparation & life transitions. Call 344-7945.
Rabbi Hanan Sills is a grandfather of The Movement of Jewish Renewal and founder of Ad-Olam. As former Hillel director, Navy and Marine Chaplain, university professor & congregational rabbi; Rabbi Hanan once again goes 'door-to-door' with his rebbi's bag to bring the Spirit of Jewish Wellness into your community's home.
For a more
intimate experience of Shabbat, Rabbi Hanan loves to co-facilitate small circles
of your family and friends (up to 10) to gather for Shabbat in your home.
Leave the negativity of your day and week behind. Try to show up by the circle time to connect with the group. Bring a food offering. Any and all foods are welcome (no pork or lard). Home-cooked food is much appreciated. Watch the calendar for food themes or vegetarian or vegan potlucks.
All guests who are interested in sharing a community Shabbat experience are welcome. All ages are welcome. Young children should be supervised at all times. Respect host's homes and themes. Help in the kitchen. Alcohol is for blessing and relaxation only. Shalom is the word! Avoid discussions that take you into angry places. If you see anything inappropriate tell the host or a governing member. Relax, enjoy, be yourself, and be part of the Havurah community.
