About Us
We are a small but growing group of families in Southern Maine.
Born from small Shabbat dinners and a desire for Jewish community post-10/7, we are a group of Maine families, passionate about Israel, who came together with a shared vision to show our children the vibrant richness of Judaism and Israel. Our dinners have blossomed into larger, lively gatherings. We believe this reflects a deep need in our community for a warm, multigenerational chavurah where we can share experience and build bonds that deepen our love for our heritage.
