(member; plural: haverim) member of an order that was meticulous in observing the commandments concerning heave offerings, tithing and purity (e.g., washing ones hands before eating and before touching ritually clean food). These regulations had already been laid down in the time of Hillel and Shammai (last quarter of first century B.C.). Women and slaves also could become haverim. In rabbinic sources the term haver often stands in contrast to the term am ha'arets (person of the land), someone who was not a member of the haverim fellowship.
