Join Tribe 12 for a ~*magical*~ shabbat experience in the Poconos! Throughout time, Jews have been magic practitioners. We find magic interwoven in the mezuzah that hangs on the doorposts of our house, in the spices we smell during havdalah, in the lulav we shake to bring on the rain. While Patriarchy has long obscured much of ancient and old Jewish rites associated with magic of the everyday, a thread of resistance has always woven through.
During this retreat we will explore different ways magic shows up in our tradition while also creating opportunities to unplug, unwind and celebrate Shabbat together. This weekend retreat in Lake Harmony is an invitation to step out of your everyday life and into Jewish time. Make new friends and/or deepen your connection with existing community while exploring what Shabbat means to you. There will be a mix of guided group activities and free time to explore nature, journal, rest and recharge.
