Chavurah While many of the local synagogues sponsor and support chavurahs, there is a large monthly chavurah that travels among triangle cities. The group was originally started by grad students at UNC-Ch and has been running for the last few years; today, the group is made up of professionals as well as grad students. Usually individuals bring a vegetarian type dish or dessert to share and participate in a Friday evening service. For more details, please contact Barnaby Court at bcourt@gmail.com. To subscribe to the Chavurah List, send an Email to chavurah-on@designhammer.com |
