Vered Harris's Company Details
Although the congregation was officially formed in 1904, the first permanent building in downtown Aurora was not built until 1927. The present structure on the far west side of town was built in 1961.Congregants are all ages, from young families to families with teens and college students, from singles and couples to senior citizens. Because individual congregants' affiliations reach from Traditional to Conservative to Reform, we often provide more than one service to help meet their spiritual needs.Services are held for all holidays and, upon request, for a Yahrzeit. Shabbat Services are held every Friday evening and Saturday morning. We offer a Traditional service every Saturday morning which welcomes everyone while following male ritual leadership. Shabbat Chaverim's Reform service is held monthly and encourages the full ritual participation of women and men. Prayers are all in transliteration and readings are in English; the service often includes beautiful guitar music. All Friday night services are egalitarian, with a monthly service geared to families with children.
