A friend I made at National Havurah Committe this year just became editor of the Judaism section of Bella Online, a website for women (see http://www.bellaonline.com/).

What's Havurah? I'm so glad you asked. Havurah means "gathering" in Hebrew. Havurot (plural of havurah) are independent groups that gather to pray, celebrate, study, and change the world. They focus on a passion for Judaism and community. NHC brings these groups together for 1 week in New Hampshire each year. (see http://www.havurah.org/).

I went last year and was amazed by the learning and learned a lot about independent minyins.

Just wondering what other people have discovered that has opened up new horizons in Jewish experience?
