Jewish Learning RetreatsJewish Learning RetreatsCrafting Kedusha: A Hands-On Journey into Jewish Ritual
Santa Rosa, CA
Educator: Elyssa Hurwitz
If you’ve wanted to engage in Jewish ritual practices with ritual objects, but have not felt like you know where to begin or like you have enough knowledge to participate, this is the right retreat for you (especially if you’re looking for some artsy fun)! We want you to come with questions and be ready to engage in the deep meanings of our traditions and ritual objects so that we can cultivate a space filled with curiosity, creativity, and community.
Please note that this will not be a shomer shabbat retreat so that we can lean into different ways of creating and destroying. Feel free to reach out to our retreats team if you have questions about what that looks like!
In addition, this retreat will offer kosher-style meals.
