ReTreat Yourself! Camp Ramah in California Edition
June 5, 2026 @ 3:00 pm – June 7, 2026 @ 11:00 am
A Retreat for Jewish Communal Professionals
Forge meaningful relationships with colleagues in your region while engaging with powerful religious and spiritual practice and Jewish learning.
Step into a palace in time with other Jewish communal professionals from your region. Celebrate a spiritual, meaningful, relaxing Shabbat full of rest, movement and singing in an idyllic setting.
Participants will emerge with a broader network of friends and allies in the field, new Jewish wisdom sources for inspiration, and renewed motivation, passion, and commitment to their work. We will talk, sing, pray, move our bodies indoors and outside, eat delicious food, rest, laugh, and reflect.
