Welcome

To

Karov Community

(Previously known as the Santa Monica Jewish Humanistic Chavurah)

A Humanistic-leaning community 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-leaning community focused on connection, meditation, community, and hope.

​

Come experience how freeing and complete a modernized, Jewish spiritual 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!
