Welcome to B'nai Havurah in Denver, Colorado!
We are an inclusive, participatory Jewish Reconstructionist community (Kehillah) that is passionately committed to experiencing Judaism by infusing tradition with renewed meaning in a contemporary American context. We do this through study (Torah), worship and joyous practice (Avodah), social justice (Tikkun Olam), acts of kindness (Gemilut Hasidim) and connection with the Jewish People (Am Israel).
At B’nai Havurah I discovered a welcoming, sincere group of individuals all wrestling with life’s most significant questions while helping make the world a more joyful, just and peaceful place. People from all walks of life seem to have found their way to B’nai Havurah, and for so many of us, it has become a new form of family. We may look different from one another, we may have come to this place from different paths, but in each other, we’ve found a community where we’re free to explore Judaism in all its nuances and complexity. -B’nai Havurah member

December 14 marks the seventh anniversary of the heartbreaking Sandy Hook massacre that stole the lives of 20 grade school children and 6 school staff members. As Shabbat begins, let's join together to remember the children of Sandy Hook and all those who have died by gun violence, before going out with signs to the Monaco and Leetsdale intersection to raise awareness about the need to end gun violence now. Brought to you by members and friends of Havurah B'kavod Jose Diaz. -
