Hey JOCISM Family!
You are cordially invited to the beautiful Pearlstone campus for a weekend of rest and release! The second in-person We Are Family Shabbaton (July 12-14, 2024) welcomes Jewish People of Color, Indigenous Jews, Sephardic Jews, and Mizrahi Jews. Come to participate in JOC-led Jewish learning, prayer and ritual, spirited singing, embodied nature-based spiritual connection, and nourishing kosher farm-to-table meals. Programming is available for families with young children, youth, and adults, including diverse prayer options and varied affinity spaces!
