About The Vashon Havurah (Havurat Ee Shalom)

Havurat Ee Shalom — literally “a group of friends on an island of peace — is a warm and welcoming home for the spiritual, social and intellectual needs of the Jewish Community of Vashon Island. We aim to foster the exploration of the richness and diversity of Jewish life; to create an egalitarian setting where each member’s individual Jewish path is honored and supported; and to cultivate the tenets of Judaism through Study (Torah), Justice (Tzedakah), Prayer (T’filah), Deeds of loving Kindness (G’milut Chasidim), and Healing the World (Tikkun Olam).
