Looking for a Jewish community that is “just right”? Check out our Bnai Chai havurah. It’s our Chicagoland fellowship for Jews who meet regularly for Shabbat and holiday services, Jewish learning and social events. We are friends in a group that is more than a casual club but far less onerous than a formal congregation. We don’t have or need a building or fancy facility. We are able to organize and support our activities easily at a very low cost.

We welcome members from any background. Our services are short, melodious and lively, traditional and modern, mixed Hebrew and English, rabbi-led with member participation. We are very lucky to have as our rabbi, Jonathan Ginsburg, who is familiar with all the denominational traditions, is learned and worldly, a great teacher, a wonderful storyteller and most of all, he is a mensch. Find out more and join us for a Shabbat service (now unfortunately just virtual).

Everyone is welcome to our Jewish community.
Our goal is to help people to Live, Love, Learn Jewishly.
We are a chavarah (fellowship) of like-minded people, that join together, as a family, for the purpose of sharing Shabbat, prayer services, and Jewish learning.
Low dues. No building fund.
Shabbat services are 45 minutes followed by an intimate discussion of Jewish subjects.
Services are between traditional Reform and liberal Conservative in style, but not affiliated with any particular group.
