Our
Philosophy
Havurah
Shir Hadash is a community that celebrates our diverse approach
to spirituality, Jewish practice, and our relationship to
G-d. We are committed to deepen our knowledge of G-d and of
ourselves.
We
actively maintain a sense of rootedness and joy in Judaism.
We are open to learning from other spiritual paths to see
how they can help Judaism move into this new millenium.
At
the same time, we are committed to sharing sacred Jewish technologies
with other religious traditions.
In these times, Israel's existence is still being questioned, and is being boycotted in academic circles in the U.S. and Europe. In response, the Havurah Council has unanimously agreed to adopt a statement of support for the state of Israel:
Havurah Shir Hadash is steadfastly committed to the support and recognition of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, and as a member of the family of free nations.
