The Worship & Study Minyan at Harvard Hillel

We are a liberal, participatory congregation with a deep commitment to Jewish pluralism, egalitarianism, and freedom of inquiry.

Shabbat services include spirited, musical davening (prayer) based on traditional liturgy; a lively, wide-ranging Torah discussion; and a convivial Kiddush. We rely on our members as well as our rabbi to lead us in prayer and to teach us Torah, and we are always seeking (and will train!) new voices to uncover new facets of our tradition. We assume no prior knowledge and encourage people to come and learn and to stay and teach.

In addition to our weekly Shabbat services, we gather for holidays and for social occasions. Likewise, we celebrate life-cycle events and comfort one another in times of sickness and mourning.

Membership at Worship and Study is open to all, whether or not you have a Harvard affiliation. Please feel free to contact Rabbi Jim Morgan at RabbiJim@WorshipandStudy.org

We hold Saturday morning Shabbat services at Harvard Hillel and on Zoom every week starting at 9:30 a.m. After services (around 11:45), those of us who are in person share a light kiddush snack and lively conversation.
