Havurah Shir Hadash
Jewish Renewal Synagogue and Temple
in Ashland, Oregon
In June of this year Rabbi David Zaslow entered into retirement and became our rabbi emeritus. He is succeeded by Rabbi Rachel Dorit Goldberg. With this transition comes many changes, including a new website. This site will be preserved as a historic archive. A link to the new website will be added here when it is completed.
We are an extended family of Jews by birth and by choice. We are blessed to be a dynamic, egalitarian, spiritual community, rich in diverse approaches to Jewish learning and practice. We strive to deepen personal connection to the Divine through prayer, music, movement, and storytelling. We are proud to be an LGBTQ Safe Zone. Check out our classes and services being offered via Zoom online!
Old Friends in New Places…
High Holy Days 2025/5786 at The Ashland Havurah
Everyone is welcome at the Ashland Havurah for this year’s High Holy Day Season as we continue our journey with our new congregational Rabbi Rachel Dorit Goldberg. With the help and contributions of many fellow leaders within our community, Rabbi Rachel will guide us through the coming weeks with teachings, music, prayer, food, and time of reflection and connection. Services will be offered in-person and via Zoom.
Wisdom Garden Shul School Registration 2025 – 2026
We are so excited to welcome your family into the new Wisdom Garden Shul School, a joint program of Havurah Shir Hadash and Temple Emek Shalom. By joining forces, we are nurturing a more vibrant and sustainable Jewish learning community for children and families across the Rogue Valley. Our vision is to root our children in Jewish values, stories, and traditions while also weaving strong friendships and a sense of belonging that will carry them through their lives. Together, we can create a school where curiosity is encouraged, joy is abundant, and Jewish identity can flourish for every child.
Membership
Join Our Havurah
We have two types of membership: Local Members are those who have the option of joining us in person for our many wonderful offerings. Distance Members are those who live too far away to join us in person but join us virtually, and in-person when they’re able. We provide hybrid services whenever we meet in person, so everyone can participate.
The heart of membership is a deep sense of BELONGING, and that is achieved through a spiritual commitment to show up and help build and sustain the community through action. In addition to contributing a Monetary Pledge for membership, the Havurah also invites you to consider your Spiritual Pledge — What do you want your Havurah to do for you? AND What do you want to do for your Havurah?
