As a native speaker of Hebrew, I feel that this is more suitable for a wiktionary article, not a Wikipedia one. Chavurot are just like groups of friends. It's like if someone wrote an article about a special type of community organisations in English speaking countries called "bros" [[User:Mèþru|Mèþru]] ([[User talk:Mèþru|talk]]) 02:24, 5 October 2020 (UTC) |

When a group makes [[matzes]] together, those matzes are called "chabureh matzes", and the people are called a "chabureh". The same word as "chavurah", with informal pronunciation. Can be added to the article. [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 16:50, 5 October 2020 (UTC) |

Mentioning others
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).

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.

Bet Madrash
This article says that the purpose of a havurah inculdes Jewish learning. Does this mean that a havurah could maintain a bet midrash? Prsaucer1958 (talk) 00:52, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Chabureh matzes
When a group makes matzes together, those matzes are called "chabureh matzes", and the people are called a "chabureh". The same word as "chavurah", with informal pronunciation. Can be added to the article. Debresser (talk) 16:50, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
