It’s About Partnership

Create a New Model of Jewish Expression: Partners are on the ground floor of shaping a new and innovative approach to Jewish life.
Individual Mentoring: Meet one-on-one with the rabbi to discuss Jewish and personal questions.
Express Your Voice: Within the cooperative structure, partners can participate in the governance and direction of the community.
Bargains! (Just joking. Sort of.) Partners participate in most Kavana programs at a reduced rate.

Participate Regularly: A sense of community is built on relationships. To make this happen, we ask partners to show up regularly (at least monthly).
Make an Annual Financial Contribution: It takes money to sustain a community. To make this possible, we ask that partners make a meaningful financial contribution each year. We recommend a gift of 1% to 2% of annual gross income.
Volunteer: Our community runs on people-power. We expect every partner to take on a job within the community. Jobs range in time commitment and scope from bringing snacks to a program to leading a programming team, or from cooking latkes to providing pro-bono professional services.

Come check us out: Attend a few events, talk to people and see what we're about.
If you feel that Kavana is for you, contact us to request a "partner intake form," which gives you an opportunity to tell us about your background, the areas of your Jewish and community life you’d like to focus on, and how you’d like to contribute to the cooperative.
Schedule a personal meeting with the rabbi to discuss what Judaism means to you.
Select a job and make a financial contribution.
Feel great knowing that you're part of a vibrant Jewish community!
