The opening as it read in 2010
Havurat Shalom is a small egalitarian chavurah in Somerville , Massachusetts , best known as the first such lay-led Jewish community in the United States. Founded in 1968 , Havurat Shalom emerged out of a youthful, 1960's enthusiasm for what has since become known as Jewish renewal .1Not surprisingly, then, it is not affiliated with the major Jewish denominations .2The community also served, during the Vietnam war draft , as a seminary for the study of Judaism. As pioneers in contemporary American Judaism , the founders and many members of Havurat Shalom turned into leaders in Jewish scholarship and practice, including Arthur Green , Everett Gendler , Michael Fishbane , James Kugel , Michael Strassfeld , Arthur Waskow and Zalman Schachter-Shalomi . Indeed, Havurat Shalom has gone through several political stages. In the 1980's, the community served as a sanctuary for a refugee from El Salvador . The community shifted toward a strong Jewish feminism , introducing pervasive changes in liturgy and gradually producing its own siddur . The havurah also worked on access for the disabled and several lesbian couples held commitment ceremonies or weddings . In 2006, it affiliated with the National Registry of Conscientious Objection . Today, scholars recognize Havurat Shalom as a pioneering step toward the national havurah movement , Jewish feminism, and Jewish renewal.3
