A little over twenty years ago, a small group came together to hold Shabbat services and Holiday observances.  We took to calling ourselves the Lake County Jewish Community Group, and so we remained... until somewhat recently.
 
All of a sudden, our little group started to grow!  ~~  In 2003, our Erev Rosh Hashannah and Kol Nidrei services were very well attended.  I believe there were 37 people at the Erev Rosh Hashannah service that year.  · · ·  In view of this heady success, a group of us decided that we needed a name-- a real name-- one that would express who we are and what we're about.  That's how our Congregation became Beit Chavurah -- “House of Fellowship.”
 
Our Congregation has no officers, no board, no formal memberships-- in short, no bureaucracy.  We relish the very informality of it all.  We come from different Jewish backgrounds and different walks of life.  Some of our people are religious, some not-so-religious.  Several non-Jewish spouses are part of our community, too.  Everyone is welcome.
