Congregation Hakafa is a dynamic Reform congregation on Chicago's North Shore. Hakafa means "encirclement". We are a congregation of people. No building, no board of directors, no men's and women's clubs. Hakafa is a circle of caring people. We are families and friends who wish to worship, to study, and to help one another and the world in which we live.

We join together in the Circle to worship.

We join together in the Circle to study.

We join together in the Circle to work for a just society.

Hakafa is an encirclement of friends.

Those who join our circle become part of a continuing commitment to make Judaism as meaningful as possible.
