In at least the synagogues with which I am familiar, the havurot are groups that meet together, sub-sets of the congregaation, as it were. Some are mostly social some religous, and some intellectual. They vary greatly in the kinds of programs they engage in. The group supports one another in times of trouble; many refer to members of the chavurah as a kind of family. |

Perhaps this article should mention the role of the Reconstructionist_Judaism in popularizing the chavurah? (Oddly enough, that article hardly mentions them.)
However, the website of the movement lists both Reconstructionist Congregations and Havurot on the same page, suggesting they give both equal importance. (Perhaps as chavurot often evolve into sunagugyes; this phenomenon is hardly limited to reconstructionism.)

Regional Retreats
I think it would be great if the regional retreats were added to this page (but can't add them because I am a publicity manager for one such retreat).
