Our primary goals as a group of leaders from our small rural communities throughout Northern Michigan and Ontario started as, and remains, helping individuals have meaningful Jewish experiences. To do this, we have dedicated time, effort, and funds to hosting retreats for members from our six communities.
Our retreats offer opportunities to build friendships with Jews in similar communities, participate in learning sessions, celebrate Shabbat, join in Torah study, gather for Havdalah, and enjoy the outdoors in our locales.
We also adapted to meet our communities' needs as they changed due to Covid-19 by moving our retreats online. See below for information on our upcoming retreat and ones we are working on for the future.
