The Hav is not a traditional synagogue. We meet in a converted Victorian house, use gender-balanced language and focus a lot on social justice, and often sit on cushions or back-jacks on the floor in addition to chairs. We also tend to sing a lot. People tend to come dressed in whatever - you don't need to wear a suit or anything! (Though if a suit's what you're comfy in, feel free.) It's very much a find-what-works-for-you place. We do request that folks not wear scented products, since some of our members are chemically sensitive.

I found the Hav 8 years ago when I first moved to Somerville, was a broke community organizer and desperate to find services I could afford. It ended up becoming one of my primary communities here. Your mileage may vary, but if you've been thinking about services and not sure the usual temples are your cuppa tea, give us a try.

Don't forget the Spaghetti Monster celebration as well.

That was a lovely service this year, as always. L'shanah tovah!

I suggest putting that in a separate post, as I doubt many people will see it here.
