Future Events and Volunteer Opportunities:
Ahava Festival is a music and art festival that celebrates love by raising money for different charities around our cities that represent the seven spheres of society. Ahava means love. It is focused on giving rather than receiving. This love movement through the seven spheres of society will beat from the hearts of people through the love of giving, bringing the different communities and people together for a like cause. Giving connects us to others and creates a stronger community that helps build strong unity throughout our cities. This love movement will cause a ripple effect in a love wave that no community, city or nation has ever seen before. By loving the loveless and giving hope to the hopeless we help other's dreams come alive through our giving and showing love to others.
