TEN REASONS TO SIGN UP FOR THE 2010 FALL RETREAT…

 

Number 10 | Maybe you missed the last retreat and you heard wonderful stories about how relaxing, inspiring, and connecting it was to spend a weekend in nature with so many beautiful souls.

Number 9 | Because there are ducks, a relaxing pond, peaceful walking trails, great views, and surprising serenity available just a few minutes up the road from urban sprawl.

Number 8 | So that you can sing Karaoke hits from your youth and learn a few additional Israeli dance steps (or just watch joyfully) in a group that doesn’t judge and that treasures our human imperfections.

Number 7 | To experience the beauty of a Shabbat service in a sparkling setting where there are so many heavenly sights and earthly delights right in front of you.

Number 6 | To get a chance to connect more informally with the Rabbi, the Cantorial Soloists, the long-time members, the new members, and the wonderful guests and visitors who bring their jeans, their sweaters, and their warmth to this awe-inspiring weekend.

Number 5 | To experience the caring and kindness of the generous live-in hosts of

 this exquisite retreat center, who not only cook and support us with compassion, but who also honor our spiritual journey even though it differs from their own.

Number 4 | To connect with your own soul (your beautiful neshama), that gets ignored or told to rush far too often.

Number 3 | So that you can wake up on a Shabbat morning, look at the loving faces around you, and truly say with sincerity, “Blessed is the One Who opens the eyes of the blind and Who provides for all my needs.”

Number 2 | To give your cell phone, your car, and your computer a rest.
 

Number 1 | To recharge your body and your mind, so you can be an even better vessel for doing good in the world during the weeks and months after your retreat.
