Hakafa means "encirclement."
We are a Reform congregation
of people who choose
to have no building,
no board of directors,
and no fund-raising.
Our CIRCLE has been growing
for nearly 40 years. But as we grow,
our intimate, caring, and
welcoming atmosphere remains.
Lag BaOmer
Bonfire & Kumzits
Saturday, May 25
6:00-8:00 PM
Location TBA
Make plans to join us for Hakafa’s annual Lag BaOmer bonfire and kumzits*! You bring dinner and any musical instruments you’d like, we’ll provide the sh’mores!
*Kumzits is a compound-word in Hebrew derived from the Yiddish words (kum-come) and (zits-sit). The word is used to describe a gathering where we come together and sing.
Monthly
Bedtime-Friendly
Shabbat Service
Join us on the last Friday of each month for our “bedtime-friendly” Shabbat service which begins at 5:30 p.m.! This is a regular service, and it enables families with young children to have a Friday evening Shabbat experience with the rest of our congregational community. A rug with toddler toys will be available. We hope you will be there!
Note: This service is in place of our regular 7:30 p.m. service.
Rosh Chodesh Gathering
Thursday, May 9
7:30 PM
Join us to reset, reflect, & connect in a restorative evening steeped in the loving power of community, and enjoy the intimacy of a candlelit space where you will be seen & heard with compassion. While focused on those 18+ who identify as women or nonbinary, people of all gender expressions are welcome to come learn and help elevate these voices.
