Direct Service East Coast: Tikkun HaYam
Key West, FL
Registration. for this retreat has closed.
Join Mem Global for our second annual direct service retreat in the Florida Keys! We will build community, volunteer, and explore how service is a meaningful way to engage in Jewish life. In partnership with Repair the Sea, we’ll jump into ocean clean-ups in Key West, study Water Torah to explore environmental justice through a Jewish lens, participate in Shabbat water meditation, and much more. As we kayak for water clean-ups, we’ll embody our Jewish commitment to environmental stewardship. Our activities will be rooted in Jewish values, wisdom, and history. This experience is powered by Repair The World.
Please note: To ensure your safety and full participation in the retreat you must be able to swim, lift 15 pounds, and stand/walk for up to two hours at a time. We will be engaging in direct service/volunteering to celebrate Shabbat and therefore the retreat will not be Shomer Shabbat.
