This program is deeply rooted in Jewish spiritual wisdom and mind-body healing practices. As Rav Nachman of Breslov taught, <em>\u201cJoy is not merely incidental to your spiritual quest. It is vital.\u201d <\/em>By sharing inspirational learning, reflective practices, and communal support, we aim for nothing less than the renewal of joy after a year that included profound pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The serene and nurturing environment of the Isabella Freedman Retreat Center will provide the perfect backdrop for this healing journey. The power of spirituality to rebuild the soul will be a central theme, as we draw on ancient teachings and modern therapeutic techniques to restore our sense of hope and connection. We will support each other in transforming grief into a renewed capacity for joy, as we learn to dance again, embracing and being embraced by Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join us this Simchat Torah as we rebuild our souls, honor our resilience, and rediscover the enduring power of joy and spirituality to strengthen our work once again to build this world from love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We feature two prayer options:<\/strong> We will have <strong>Traditional Egalitarian<\/strong> and <strong>Orthodox <em>Mechitza<\/em><\/strong> minyanim.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\n<div class=\"mm-custom-block tabbed-nav-block\" style=\"min-height: 100px;\">\n\n\t\n\t    <div class=\"tabGroup\">\n\t\t    \n\t\t\t\n      <ul class=\"tabButtons\">\n                  <li rel=\"1\">\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"tabButton\" rel=\"1\">Pricing<\/button>\n          <\/li>\n                  <li rel=\"2\">\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"tabButton\" rel=\"2\">Teachers &#038; Educators<\/button>\n          <\/li>\n                  <li rel=\"3\">\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"tabButton\" rel=\"3\">Davening and Ritual<\/button>\n          <\/li>\n                  <li rel=\"4\">\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"tabButton\" rel=\"4\">Program Highlights<\/button>\n          <\/li>\n              <\/ul>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"tabwrapper\">\n<div class=\"mm-custom-block single-tab-item\" >\n\t\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2024 Pricing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We will be hosting two separate retreats: <strong>Sukkahfest<\/strong> over the start of Sukkot and <strong>Simchafest<\/strong> over Simchat Torah weekend.

Her work has been exhibited nationally, including at Galerie Lucida, Governors Island, Coral Gables Museum, and Dominican University. A recipient of the City Artist Corps Grant, her art delves into themes of childhood, memory, nostalgia, identity, and environmentalism. Deborah&#8217;s practice investigates the dynamic between childhood and parenting, often using recycled, non-traditional materials, including fabrics that reflect her early training in textile design. Her works tell stories of childhood, frequently portraying fragmented memories and experiences. The figures in her pieces are often set within natural landscapes, surrounded by flora and fauna that evoke her childhood explorations of Inwood, NYC, its parks, the Hudson River, and local public spaces. Her work draws inspiration from medieval manuscripts, Victorian motifs, and symbolism. Deborah incorporates painting, drawing, assemblage, ceramics, and animation into her practice. As an educator, Deborah has worked with the Hudson River Museum, 92Y, Stepping Stones Museum for Children, and ArtsWestchester. She has curated exhibitions at Bronx Art Space, Bronx Council on the Arts, Lehman College Art Gallery, and Wave Hill. Deborah is currently the Assistant Director, Curator of Education at Lehman College Art Gallery, and an Adjunct Lecturer at Lehman College, CUNY.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/adamah.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Abby-Eisenberg-1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14091 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/adamah.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Abby-Eisenberg-1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14091 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adamah.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Abby-Eisenberg-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/adamah.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Abby-Eisenberg-1-400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Abby Eisenberg<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>is a community Jewish educator based in NYC.
