The Kavana Cooperative (transliterated from Hebrew as "intention";[1] pronounced "Kah-va-NAH"[2]) is a non-denominational Jewish congregation located in Seattle, Washington, in the United States.

Formed in 2006, the pluralistic community is based on a cooperative model, where partners and participants take on the responsibility for actively creating a Jewish life for the group.
