The National Havurah Summer Institute is an annual week-long multi-generational celebration of Jewish learning, culture and community. Members of havurah communities, independent minyanim, and other interested individuals from across the country gather to learn, teach, daven, and innovate.  

 

At the Summer Institute, every teacher is also a student and every student is a teacher. People who are usually called “rabbi” or “professor” throughout the year go by their first names here. And people who rarely take active leadership roles in their communities discover that they, too, can teach and contribute to the community.​​​
