Kavana is an independent Jewish community in Seattle. Together we are building an innovative, model community that empowers each of us to create a meaningful Jewish life and a positive Jewish identity. Most of us are in our early 30s to early 50s, but we have older and younger cohorts as well, including a growing group of empty nesters. Some of us are parents, some aren’t; some were raised very religious, some with no Judaism at all. We have straight folks and gay folks, and families of all shapes and sizes. Interfaith couples and families are welcome.
