Congregation Hakafa is certified as a Safer Synagogue by Jewish Child and Family Services (www.jcfs.org). Our team has been trained on a multitude of topics that can adversely impact women, men, children and families, such as child abuse, domestic violence, elder abuse, and addiction. The Safer Synagogues team now has a greater understanding of the impact of abuse across the lifespan and improved access to support for congregants experiencing abusive situations. For more information, please contact JCFS Safer Communities Coordinator, Dawn Levin (dawnlevin@jcfs.org).
