HAKAFA CHAI EVENTS THIS SPRING:

BEDTIME FRIENDLY SHABBAT SERVICE 2X A MONTH!

Join Congregation Hakafa for our "bedtime-friendly" Shabbat service on the second and fourth Fridays of each month! Shabbat services start at 5:30 PM and end between 6:15 and 6:30 PM. A rug with toys for tots is available during the service, so your little ones can play beside you while you pray.

We welcome the shrieks, cries, snacks, emergency diaper changes, spills, and everything that comes along with your tot joining us in our worship space. No need to attempt to keep your tot still or silent... our space is your space.

Contact Rona for Winnetka service location. We look forward to seeing you!
