About NHC The National Havurah Committee ( NHC ) is a network of diverse individuals and communities dedicated to Jewish living and learning, community building, and tikkun olam ( repairing the world ). For nearly 30 years, the NHC has helped Jews across North America envision a joyful grassroots Judaism, and has provided the tools to help people create empowered Jewish lives and communities. The NHC is nondenominational, multigenerational, egalitarian, and volunteer-run. The havurah movement in general, and the NHC in specific, is not a "denomination" for several reasons. First of all, there is no one central institution with which havurot affiliate. The NHC is an organization that provides resources and networks to grassroots Jewish communities, but does not have any formal category of congregational affiliation. Some havurot are affiliated with various denominational movements or with synagogues, and many are independent. Second of all, since the set of all havurot is extremely diverse ( and their participants are even more diverse ), there is no unifying consensus among havurot about the specifics of Jewish belief and practice. Havurot are unified instead by a participatory ethos of Jewish community, in which everyone has something to teach and everyone has something to learn, and everyone has a role in creating the community.
