“It was really great! Rabbi Weiss and Rachel did a phenomenal job!”

“We loved this opportunity to spend time with families we knew and meet a few others.”

All the Details:
Arrive as early at 10am on Friday (room check-in is at 4pm) and stay and play until 8pm on Saturday (room check out at 11am). We will gather for Shabbat Pajama Party with dinner and services on Friday night, along with a “late-night” movie for the kiddos and games for the parents, and breakfast and a Shabbat activity on Saturday morning.

You can add additional children to your room (up to six people total) for $50 apiece.
