The Catalog is in fact an expression of a reviving faith among Jewish young people, many of whom are gathering together in new communal groups they call havurot, from the Hebrew word for fellowship. Each such group-there are now hundreds all over the U.S.-is a close-knit community that meets for prayer sessions, meals, classes and discussions on Judaism.
