Welcome

To

Karov

The Santa Monica Jewish Humanistic Chavurah 

Based in Santa Monica, but home for folks from all over Los Angeles

Abstract Background

Let's Talk...

Being part of Karov (which means close or near) is taking a Jewish road slightly less traveled, and we love it that way. 

We are a musically centered, humanistic chavurah focused on connection, meditation, community, and hope -- without all of the God stuff.

Come experience how freeing and complete a secular yet spiritual Jewish experience can be.

And... we don't require any formal membership, so if you love your current community and want to pop in for a few things with us, you are always welcome!
