Hehaver Community
After the Law of Separation of State and Church and the new Constitution (1911), it is finally allowed to approve the Statutes of the first Jewish congregation in Lisbon, which is unfolded in innumerable private initiatives, and it is in this context that the Association of Israelite Youth Hehaber is founded, in 1925. An institution that began by encompassing “social and recreational activities, etc., which brought together both young Sephardic Jews and the Ashkenazi who came later.”
Progressive Judaism
The Religion of Israel is a standard and for the Jew it means to take a positive attitude toward life and the world, because he understands it as a purpose. The Jew trusts in God and accepts His work. However, the Jew does not close his eyes to evil, nor to the suffering in the world including the suffering he has himself experienced, in turn, in his own body. Despite this, the Jew persists in his trust in the Lord – this is the Jewish godliness, its happiness, its strength and its spiritual treasure.

Weekly Portion פָּרָשַׁת הַשָּׁבוּעַ
Know also that wisdom is sweet to your soul; if you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off (Proverbs 24:14). The Torah generally refers to the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Hebrew Bible – Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. These books make up the history of the Jewish people. These ancient stories deal with science, history, philosophy, ritual, and ethics. They include stories of individuals, families, wars, slavery and more. Virtually no subject was taboo for the Torah. Going through these stories is the only lens through which the Jewish people saw their world and their God. The adaptation of these stories to current reality surpasses the world view and acts as a manual of ethical and personal survival in this intensely controversial panorama through which we feel so often disoriented.
