Upcoming Events with Shir Tikvah
Shir Tikvah Bi-Annual Adult Shabbat Retreat at Menucha, Shabbat Emor, May 11-13
Every two years since Shir Tikvah began, we’ve retreated to Menucha, in the Gorge, for a full Shabbat experience with Rabbi Ariel. Beautiful location, serene schedule, no hurry and no worry – lacto-ovo vegetarian meals included from erev Shabbat dinner through Sunday morning.
Bring: tallit, humash, warm clothes, a good book for Shabbat afternoon rest, and your favorite snack and wine to share.
Cost: $180 per person (single, double, triple occupancy, doesn’t matter); consider, if you can, adding $20 to your check to help someone else attend.
Deadline: February 10, 2012 (we have to give up the space we’ve reserved at the end of the day on Feb 10 if we do not have 24 confirmed reservations). Your check is your reservation – please send it to the Shir Tikvah office marked Menucha Retreat by February 10, 2012.
