Abstract:
Beyond the basic institutions of congregation and community, each segment of the Jewish polity must develop its own institutions for each time and place. There is little question, for example, that the havurah which has developed in the United States in the last two decades is one institutional response to the needs of a migratory population, a means to create ties that go beyond the merely associational in an effort to provide surrogate familial links.
