HaNefesh is a new community without walls. (We do not have a building) All of our programming is online and will remain online even when we are able to be in person after Covid. We believe in being an affirming and welcoming and safe environment for all. As a new community, we are also growing and learning. We are open to and appreciate suggestions and comments about how it is we can be more inclusive and provide the programming and services for all.
