While Shabbat and holiday celebrations form the foundation of our activities, we are also proud of the many active committees whose members create wonderful programs for our congregational family.

Life-long Learning Committee: Sponsors our summer series of lectures and concerts called Voices and Visions, as well as ongoing classes taught by Rabbis Zecher.  Each year, we sponsor at least one weekend with a Scholar-in-Residence and for the last two years, we have celebrated Shabbat with worship, prayer, study and song at our Annual Shabbaton (which has its own Shabbaton Committee).

Social Action Committee:  Reaches out to the local community wth a wide array of activities, including staffing the local food pantry and Breaking Bread Kitchen, participating in various community food and clothing drives, hosting Blood Drives, and helping to plan Interfaith activities.  Members of the committee also keep the congregation informed about social justice issues with advocacy postcards.

Youth Committee:  Works with the Youth Director and the HoTY leadership to assist the teens in program planning and suport.

Caring Community Committee:  Works to ensure that every life transition in our Hevreh community is noted and help is offered when needed.  This outreach ranges from notes and calls to meals and visits.

Ritual Committee:  Works with the rabbis to formulate guidelines and policies regarding Hevreh's ritual life.  This includes planning holiday services and celebrations, working with Rabbi Zecher on the creation of a new prayer book, as well as discussing all issues related to worship and ritual.
