The Tamar Fund makes that aspiration possible – please apply for a scholarship before registering. The Tamar Fund is in loving memory of Tamar Bittelman z’’l. Scholarships are available for the full stay only. \n\n\n\n\nScholarship Application\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nDavening and Ritual\n\n\n\nWe will have two davening options: an Open Orthodox Minyan and an ALEPH: Jewish Renewal Minyan\, supplemented with Minchas led by Eliana Light. \n\n\n\nOpen Orthodox Minyan with Ezra Weinberg\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSpiritual\, meaningful and song-filled services will follow a traditional Orthodox liturgy. Prayer will be supplemented with Kavanot (intentions) and words of Torah from both sides of the mechitzah. All are welcome and may sit in the section that most aligns with one’s gender identity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nALEPH: Jewish Renewal Minyan with Elana Brody and Ariel Hendelman\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRenewal services are about going deep into prayer through chant\, meditation\, embodied movement\, and more. We will use musical instruments in this minyan. \n\n\n\nShavuot invites us to stand under the chuppah & make a commitment to the Infinite One as Beloved. That’s what it means to stand at Sinai\, the place where we are continually receiving the Torah each moment. Shavuot is the marker of this journey of radical amazement that is being in intimate relationship with the Great Mystery. In the words of Rabbi Jay Michaelson\, “Give me the guts & tears & life-blood of a prayer unashamed of its nakedness\, pleading & demanding\, shuckling & clapping\, or at times at which the soul is in constriction\, just going through the motions in the hope that something\, somewhere will loosen.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLight Lab Mincha with Eliana Light\n\n\n\nYou’re invited to the Light Lab\, where we’ll play with prayer and hold the gems of our liturgy to the light! Join educator and musician Eliana Light for services & sessions over Shavuot\, opportunities to experiment with t’fillah (prayer & liturgy) and see what shines through. When it comes to t’fillah\, we’re all experts and we’re all beginners. There’s always more to discover! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nProgram Highlights\n\n\n\nPlanning for the 2024 retreat is underway. See our previous 2023 retreat schedule here. \n\n\n\nTikkun Leil Shavuot\n\n\n\nOur all-night learning will include Torah and text classes on radical amazement\, tefillah\, and wonder. Or\, join us at the bonfire for an all-night niggun bonfire! \n\n\n\nCheck out the following examples of classes. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnlearning Jewish Anxiety with Caryn Aviv\n\n\n\nUnlearning Jewish Anxiety offers practical tools for folks who feel anxious about being and doing Jewish in an uncertain world.  We’ll explore some internalized anti-Jewish oppression patterns about our safety\, worthiness\, and belonging in the world. Then we’ll take a brief tour through the fascinating neuroscience of anxiety\, habits\, and rewards-based learning.  The workshop concludes with simple\, Jewish embodied practices can help us live more in the present moment with more self-compassion\, awareness\, curiosity\, and courage. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nText Classes with Dr. Rachel Feldman\n\n\n\nDetails coming soon! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBikkurim Parade\n\n\n\nThe Mishna tells us that Shavuot is a time to gather our bikkurim\, the first fruits of our harvest\, and bring them as gifts to the Temple in Jerusalem. Join us as we reenact this ancient pilgrimage to celebrate our local first fruits of rye\, mustard greens\, spring garlic\, and more. The ceremony will include costumes\, goats\, and drums. \n\n\n\nAdamah Programs\n\n\n\nJoin our Adamah Farm staff on night walks\, guided hikes\, farm tours\, a walk through Chestnutlandia\, and more. \n\n\n\nOther Activities\n\n\n\nEnjoy twice-a-day yoga\, gather in song circles\, and join a guided reflection on the Omer. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nYouth Programming\n\n\n\nIsabella Freedman’s youth programming is an outdoor-focused\, collaborative\, and exciting experience for all who choose to join.

As a former football player and coach of Israel’s national (American) football team I incorporate my experience in team sports into building spiritual community. I aspire to integrate my experience in martial arts\, dance\, and holistic medicine into my Torah and prayer with an eye towards embodiment practice as an emerging modality in serving Hashem and healing the Earth. \n\n\n\n\n\nALEPH: Jewish Renewal Minyan Leaders\n\n\n\n\n\nAriel Hendelman\n\n\n\nAriel Yisraelah Hendelman is the Spiritual Leader of B’nai Or Boston\, a Jewish Renewal community\, & a Rabbinic student with the Aleph Ordination Program.
