About Hill Havurahdcast

Hill Havurah (www.hillhavurah.org) is an independent Jewish community in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, DC. After the Coronavirus pandemic turned the Havurah ("Fellowship") into a virtual community, Hill Havurah's Rabbi Hannah Spiro continued connecting the congregation with weekly Zoom chats with individual members of the Havurah, to talk about life, work, pandemic and spirituality. Those conversations turned into Havurahdcast episodes. They are edited and produced by Jessica Smith. Artwork by Sarah Burford, @sarahmburford on Instagram. Original music by Rabbi Hannah Spiro.
