“Friends Celebrating Shabbat Together”

A Radical Idea 

It has been said that Shabbat, a day of rest, is Judaism’s most radical idea. A time to balance our human doing’s with our human being. Come join us! If you would like to volunteer to host, or have an idea for a theme let us know. Shabbat Shalom.

Our Mission

The mission of the Jewish Community  Havurah of Eugene is to create a community that celebrates and shares Shabbat.

The JCHE is dedicated to advocate Jewish values, foster Jewish continuity for adults, provide a way for members to meet, and promote events with other Jewish organizations.

Ad Olam - "Synagogue Without Walls"

The JCHE is affiliated with Ad Olam.

Ad-Olam is a religious and educational outreach program to Jews and non-Jews alike who want to connect with and learn about Jewish spirit and traditions.

Rabbi Hanan Sills is a grandfather of The Movement of Jewish Renewal and founder of Ad-Olam. As former Hillel director, Navy and Marine Chaplain, university professor & congregational rabbi; Rabbi Hanan once again goes 'door-to-door' with his rebbi's bag to bring the Spirit of Jewish Wellness into your community's home.

Shabbat Etiquette

Leave the negativity of your day and week behind. Try to show up by the circle time to connect with the group. All guests who are interested in sharing a community Shabbat experience are welcome. Bring a food offering. Any and all foods are welcome. Home-cooked food is very much appreciated. Watch the calendar for food themes or vegetarian potlucks.

All ages are welcome. Young children should be supervised at all times. Respect hosts’ homes. Help in the kitchen. If you see any inappropriate behavior let the host or a governing member know. Relax! Enjoy!
