Shir Hadash Reconstructionist Havurah

1310 Centre St
Newton Center, MA 02459

Shir Hadash Reconstructionist Havurah is a small, inclusive, and participatory congregation affiliated with the Reconstructionist branch of Judaism. With a focus on the spiritual, educational, social, and pastoral needs of adults, they embrace mixed-faith couples, participants of any age, and LGBTQ members. Their close-knit community of 70 people fosters strong friendships, learning partnerships, and leadership opportunities. As a havurah, they offer the best of both worlds, combining the independence of a small congregation with access to rabbis and educational resources through their partnership with Temple Ohabei Shalom.

Shir Hadash prioritizes spending on programs and services for their members rather than owning a building. They have strong lay leadership and transparency in decision-making, with voluntary member contributions instead of set dues. Conveniently located on the Green line, they hold member-led services at the Lutheran Church in Newton Centre and rabbi-led services at Temple Ohabei Shalom in Brookline.
