About

We welcome individuals from all religious backgrounds, beliefs, ethnicities, races, sexual orientations, gender identities, ages, abilities, and socio-economic backgrounds. We participate in LGBTQ+ events such as Pride events and Transgender Day of Remembrance.

Welcome to Narberth Havurah, a warm and progressive community nestled in Narberth. With roots in the Havurah movement, we are informal and inclusive with a strong sense of community ownership. Our diverse membership includes Jewish and non-Jewish individuals with varied beliefs and connections to Judaism. Our community provides opportunities for both children and adults to learn, play, and contribute together, from our warm Shabbat potlucks and holiday celebrations to engaging social events like restaurant ventures and movie nights. Central to our mission is creating a small “village” that is spiritually uplifting and educationally stimulating. We draw inspiration from the timeless values of our tradition, guiding us in our pursuit of peace, social justice, and a purposeful life.
