This retreat combines meaningful learning with hands-on experience, and invites you to explore the concept of Tikkun Olam and bring it to life through direct service. We will unpack the roots and evolving meaning of Tikkun Olam, reflect on its relevance today, and consider how Jewish values can guide our choices. Through volunteering and shared discussion, we will learn from one another’s experiences, perspectives, and ideas. This is an opportunity to connect, reflect, and act, while transforming learning into meaningful impact and discovering how small, intentional steps can contribute to repairing the world around us.

Embark on a weekend of connection, fun and Tikkun Olam. Join Mem Global in Denver, CO as we host future Embark couples from all over to join together for hands-on Jewish Service Learning! During your time in Denver, we’ll enjoy a group Shabbat experience and hands on community service in the heart of downtown Denver. We can’t wait to have you join us in making an impact while learning about the roots of service learning in Judaism and how you can incorporate these values and wisdom into your everyday lives. 

This retreat is generously subsidized by Repair the World. In addition, this retreat will not be Shabbat observant, and the meals will be vegetarian but not kosher certified (subject to change).
