Sig Cohen, Hill Havurah co-founder
Started by a handful of Jewish “pioneers” on Capitol Hill, we have evolved over the years into a fellowship that is rich in diversity and known for its inclusiveness. Who are we? We are Jews and those who love them… single threads woven together into a colorful tapestry of people of all ages, genders, races, sexual orientations, and financial means.
Hill Havurah has “haverim” who were raised in traditional homes… and others who had little or no religious education. As an independent congregation – unaffiliated with any of the major denominations of modern Judaism – we seek common ground to provide a rich Jewish experience for all.
