about me
Here at Chochmat HaLev, we want you to experience Judaism as relevant to you, in an atmosphere that is friendly, warm, authentic and meaningful. And we know that, for many, synagogue brings up some stodgy images, far removed from any notion of spirituality. Well, this is not your parents’ synagogue. We offer meditation services, stomp-your-feet and dance-the-horah Shabbats, a myriad of classes and riveting speakers, Jewish education for adults & children, and much, much more.
At Chochmat HaLev, it is our mission to bring together a spiritual community of individuals and families who are focused on renewing Judaism as a joyful and relevant path. We provide a wide range of opportunities to deepen your spiritual practice and to connect to the Divine, as each person’s path is unique. Whether your prefer to sit alone in contemplation, or to join hands and voices, the overarching theme is connection to others and community through meditation, prayer, study, service, and celebration.
Founded in 1995 by Rabbi Avram Davis, Chochmat HaLev is a joyful Jewish community, an academy for in-depth relevant Jewish learning, and a center for Jewish meditation, teaching and practice. Chochmat HaLev literally means “wisdom of the heart.”
