Chagigah is the new name for the Movement for Reform Judaism’s Biennial Conference. It means 'celebration' and reflects the spirit of a joyful, fun, uplifting, spiritual, family-friendly gathering which we will be creating during our weekend in Daventry.

As well as wonderful, music-filled services, we will be hosting inspiring speakers and educators, offering learning opportunities for all ages and levels. There will also be plenty of innovative and practical ideas and resources for you to take back to your community.

We do hope you will be able to join us for what promises to be a really special and memorable weekend of celebration."

Rabbi Laura Janner-Klausner on behalf of the Chagigah 2012 Team.
