Sample Schedule

Below is a sample schedule.  It is likely to change.  And even when we finalize, it will change during the retreat.  Our idea is to  be prepared with an amazing schedule of activities for the rare event that things go as planned, but to be open to flowing with everyone's input and ideas and spontaneous occurences.

This schedule is only intended to give you a sense of what we'll be up to!


Explanation of some Hebrew words:

  • Shacharit: morning prayers
  • Mincha: afternoon prayers
  • Maariv: evening prayers
  • Hitbodedut: prayer in one's own words, typically done alone
