Haver, the Boulder Rabbinic Fellowship, is a unique rabbinic council.
We are rabbis from the Orthodox, Renewal, Conservative, Reconstuctionist and Reform movements who meet together to teach, to study, to plan, to deliberate, to rule and to advise.
It is rare for rabbis of different denominations to work together, yet here in Boulder we do. We recognize that our communities are like aspen trees. Although on the surface each aspen appears to be its own organism, in reality each tree is linked to the collective though its roots.
Like the aspens, our communities may appear separate on the surface but in reality they are inextricably linked. We are nourished by the same mayim chayim (living waters) and face many of the same gesher sar meod (challenges.) The rabbis of Haver gather together to represent the collective, the larger stand of trees.
The connection, respect and affection between the members of Haver is evident. And because that mutual respect spreads, it is not uncommon in Boulder for people to participate in events at multiple synagogues.
Haver offers community programs including:
Derech Chayim (Introduction or Reintroduction to Judaism)
Joint Holiday Celebrations
Panels on Topical Issues
Haver also advises other community groups such as:
Boulder Jewish Day School
The Jewish Cemetery
Chevra Kaddisha (Jewish Burial Society)
Boulder Valley School District (calendaring issues)
*COMING UP*
