Become a Chaver - Friend of Shabbat with Friends New Mexico

We are organizing SWF intentionally, based on a communal vision of membership. People who believe in our mission and want to see Shabbat with Friends grow are invited to become Chaverim - Friends of SWF. As SWF grows, there are more gatherings, more hosts, and more moving and memorable experiences; more ideas to experiment, more learning, and more music to share. SWF Chaverim - Friends are partners in this effort.

What We Ask

Host

Each Chaver household will commit to host or cohost at least one Shabbat with Friends gathering each year. There is no cost for hosting. We will guide and support you to help make your gathering a great experience. 

Learn

Because the Shabbat experience is enriched by deeper knowledge of Jewish tradition and culture, we ask you to take part in the learning opportunities SWF offers or to pursue other avenues of Jewish learning that fit your interests.

Sustain

To sustain the SWF community, we ask each Chaver household to make a financial commitment of at least $360 per year ($300 for members of synagogues or similar type of Jewish communal institutions). If that poses a financial burden, please consider an amount you can afford.
