Hakafot (הקפות plural); Hakafah (הקפה singular)—meaning "[to] circle" or "going around" in Hebrew—are a Jewish minhag (tradition) in which people walk or dance around a specific object, generally in a religious setting. In Judaism, there is a custom on Sukkot to encircle the reader's platform (bimah) with the Four species on each of the seven days of the holiday. On Simchat Torah, the custom is to take the Torah scrolls out of the Ark and to encircle the reader’s platform and throughout the synagogue with great joy, singing, and dancing.

  • Als Hakkafot oder Hakafot (hebräisch הַקָפוֹת, deutsch „Umzüge“, Singular Hakafah) werden in der jüdischen Liturgie und im jüdischen Brauchtum zeremonielle Umgänge bezeichnet. Den Hakkafot gemeinsam ist die in der jüdischen Tradition mystische Zahl sieben sowie ein „magischer Kreis“. Am besten bekannt sind die im Buch Josua geschilderten mehrmaligen Umkreisungen der Stadt Jericho durch die Israeliten unter Posaunenklängen als kriegerische Handlung und die seit dem Mittelalter stattfindenden Hakkafot mit den Torarollen am Torafreudenfest Simchat Tora.

On Simchat Torah, the custom is to take the Torah scrolls out of the Ark and to encircle the reader’s platform and throughout the synagogue with great joy, singing, and dancing. Circular Hakafot are a symbol of perfection and unity, or sometimes a symbol of communal cooperation. According to the story told in the Book of Joshua, the People of Israel (Israelites) walked around the city of Jericho once a day for a week and seven times on the seventh day, with the priests leading the way, carrying the Ark of the Covenant each time. On the seventh day, the people blew shofar (ram's horns) and shouted, causing the walls to fall and allowing them to enter the city. In the Temple period, when they wanted to add area to the Temple Mount, they first encircled the desired area and only after added land to the Temple Mount. (en)
