Calling All GLBTQ Jews!

Nehirim: Rainbow as covenant...I got an email from Cole Krawitz yesterday, alerting me to the 2007 Nehirim Retreat for LGBTQ Jews, May 18-20, 2007. This sounds like a pretty wonderful organization/conference, and I thought you might be interested!

The Nehirim spiritual retreat is a soulful, heartful gathering where you can connect with your community, relax and refresh, and explore your spiritual path, forming connections that last a lifetime. Our retreats feature:

· A wide range of spiritual options, from traditional shabbat davening to meditation, yoga, and dance.
· Connections with GLBTQ Jews of all ages, religious affiliations, and walks of life.
· Workshops and seminars featuring a wide range of teachers, including, this year, Rabbi Steve Greenberg, Rabbi Jill Hammer, Jay Michaelson, Rabbi Jacob Staub, Ken Page, Judith Miller, Susan Bash, Shoshana Jedwab, Cole Krawitz, and more.
· Dancing, singing, kosher (mostly vegetarian) food, an eruv, tennis courts, hot tub, a lake, country roads - nu, it's the Catskills!

Financial Aid:

Nehirim offers two kinds of financial aid: full scholarships for students, and need-based subsidies for those who require them.
