Mile End Chavurah is an inclusive, intergenerational community reimagining Jewish communal life in Montreal. Founded in 2010 by a small group of Jews seeking a dynamic alternative Jewish space, it has since grown into a community of more than 300 members, whose lives are woven together by a shared commitment to Jewish practice, culture, study and mutual care. 

The chavurah is committed to honouring tradition and observance by enlivening it in new ways. Our goal is to renew Jewish text and worship to engage Jews of all kinds of religious, secular, skeptical, or uncertain orientation. We see ourselves reimagining egalitarian Jewish practice for shabbat, holy days, all our life-cycle events: from birth to death, and from coming of age to union ceremonies. Above all, our aim is to create a sacred community of care that shows up for one another in times of hardship and celebration.
