At the Boulder JCC, we believe that Community is built on the strength of our relationships. We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new Chavurah Program, a dedicated initiative to help families with school-age children find their "tribe" and create lasting Jewish connections.

What is a Chavurah?

Derived from the Hebrew word Chaver (friend), a Chavurah (plural: Chavurot) is a small, self-led friendship group. While the Chavurah movement (https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/havurah-judaism/) has been a cornerstone of Jewish life since the 1960s, its purpose remains timeless: bringing people together to celebrate, learn, and support one another. Groups that truly click have the potential to meet, grow, and stay connected for decades.

To ensure these groups are built on solid foundations, we are partnering with renowned Jewish educator Amy Atkins. Amy will personally speak with every interested family to help facilitate matches based on shared interests and dynamics.

Once your group is formed, Amy provides the guidance, training, and materials needed to make your meetings meaningful and stress-free.

Who is this for?

While we are happy to help families with younger children connect, please note that our specific curriculum and resources are designed for families with children aged 5 and older.
