Small Similar Interest Groups
We're Making Connections
Gather with others from our community who share the same interest as you. Have fun, grow, make new friends, and strengthen existing relationships...all while doing something you love.
We invite YOU to join a small group.
What's your interest?
Are you a writer? An artist? An adult who makes LEGO creations? Do you love to discuss current events? Want to share your gardening tips with others? You could start a group about any of these topics or a topic that you love...and we haven't thought of. The options are endless!
Har HaShem is forming small, similar interest groups.
If you have an idea for a group and are willing to lead it for an initial period, please let Lisa Webber know.
These groups will be:
-
small, in order to best facilitate conversation
-
congregant led
-
virtual or in-person, depending on the preferences of the group members
We have some groups that are already up and running. Join one of these or start your own.
