Chavurat Shalom is a welcoming community in Southwest Florida
|
Chavurat Shalom is an informal group from every Jewish religious tradition that meets to worship, learn, and socialize together. We are not affiliated with any Jewish organized movement. Our group is community-led. Each person has an equal voice in it and may participate to whatever extent desired.
Presently we worship and meet via Zoom, with occasional in-person events in Fort Myers or Sanibel Island, Florida. Whether interacting with each other face-to-face or over Zoom, we all enjoy the companionship and warm community Chavurat Shalom offers. We welcome people from all over the country. |

In Remembrance of Being JewishA poem by Chavurat Shalom member Myra Klahr
Remember the joys of our Jewish heritage
That through the millennia We overcame and While we remain The unwanted guest At the dinner table Of the world We celebrate mitzvot With each other Remember that We welcome the stranger Even at our own peril Remember that The world envies Our covenant with Hashem Never forget Who we are That in a world Without Jews There would be No theory of relativity No understanding of psychology Fewer Nobel laureates Whose discoveries Impacted people’s lives And so We unwanted guests Celebrate Who we are And the exceptional qualities We bring To mankind |
