Akwaaba (registered charity 1181291, akwaaba.org.uk)

Akwaaba is a Hackney-based social centre for migrants offering a space for rest, play, learning and mutual support. We are Committed to actively opposing racism and all other forms of discrimination and oppression. Akwaaba is a volunteer-run space aiming to build community and foster care, cooperation and solidarity. As a community, members all have an equal say in how the social centre is run.

Kehillah North London (registered charity 1163562, kehillah.org.uk)

We pride ourselves in being a home for many Jewish people and families who have sometimes found it difficult to find a home elsewhere. But we also seek to make Kehillah a warm, welcoming, creative and good place. Every year we struggle to raise the money we need to do this particularly in this year, when we as a community have experienced such change, well as in a year of wider financial difficulties in our communities. We ask you to consider us on Yom Kippur because you value what we do and want us to continue to grow, to pray, to think, to learn, to challenge and to offer friendship and comfort. If you cannot contribute financially, please consider contributing by volunteering within the community instead.

Yom Kippur Mussaf:
Join Student Rabbi Yael for a creative journey through our Mussaf service. On Yom Kippur, during the Additional Service, we tell our story from Creation through Redemption. We will use a mixture of the story in our machzor and additional songs, prayers, meditations, discussion and poetic readings. We will tell the story of where we have come from, to ground ourselves in the here and now. CW: The Yom Kippur Mussaf service contains the Martyrology, which includes reference to violent death and sexual violence.
Yom Kippur Afternoon Study Session: Bibliodrama with Jonah
Why did Jonah run away from his mission? How did the sailors feel about throwing him overboard? And what did the Big Fish have to say about the whole situtation? Using the method of bibliodrama, we’ll inhabit the story of Jonah together, becoming the characters in the story and discovering it from new angles.
