They wanted to build a eommu-

neeted not just to Jewish praetiee,
but to the people praetieing along
side them.
One of the group’s first aets
was to establish a religious sehool
for the ehildren, even before
ehoosing the offieial name of
Havurat Olam. The New Sehool
for All Things Jewish erupts with
life almost every Sunday morning
of the sehool year. We are the
proud possessors of two beautiful
Torah serolls and our teens leyn
from the seroll after their bar and
bat mitzvahs have beeome among
our many wonderful memories.

looking for Jews who thirst for sa-
