The JMR26 Planning Team is excited to announce the opening of registration for this year’s retreat - Claiming Our Strengths - to be held once again at Hazon’s Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center in bucolic Falls Village, CT.
We are conditioned with limited archetypes of what it means to be “a man” and, furthermore, “a strong man” – archetypes that both provide a foundation and continue to shape — and also hinder — the development of our Selves. Through the lens of the Chayei Sarah narrative, JMR26 will provide a container in which to explore liberation from this conditioning and welcome in a fully authentic range of human strengths, power and character – in a community of loving brothers as we immerse in nature’s beauty, deepen our connections with Jewish tradition and community, davven dynamicially, study, contemplate, converse, eat/laugh/sing/dance/hike/chill, and relish a Shabbos afternoon snooze.
