Rosh Chodesh Elul Shabbaton
Aug 14th, 7pm – Aug 16th, 10:30am | Alliance, OH

Join us for a shabbaton at the farm, as we enter the month of Elul, the preparatory month leading up to Rosh Hashanah, and begin to orient ourselves toward this sacred season.
✨✨ Join us for part or all of the retreat ✨✨ Everyone is welcome! ✨✨ Kids can run around and explore the farm! ✨✨
We will be camping, and there is also limited indoor space to roll out sleeping bags. Let us know when you register if you need to borrow camping gear!
In the interest of continuing to enhance the ways our collective is responsible to and for each other, we are implementing some new strategies for reducing the impact on our environment and our hosts. Toward this goal, you will notice some new items on the packing list. Thank you for doing your part!
This is a SCENT FREE event. Please do not bring anything with artificial scents, to respect those with sensitivities and allergies. Thank you!
We will provide sunscreen and bug repellant to ensure that it’s scent-free and safe for the pond ecosystem — please don’t bring your own.
Schedule
Please feel free to arrive as early as 5pm to set up your tent and get situated. Programming will begin at 7pm with shabbes blessings and a potluck dinner.
