Holy Wanderers:
Navigating Through The Wilderness
Join us for our Passover Retreat March 28th through April 2nd, 2021!
Combining music, mindfulness, movement, meditation, and text study, Noah will lead 5 unique workshops exploring various character traits of Moses, Miriam, Aaron and Batya. Through this lens, we will explore the traits of Courage, Vulnerability, Awareness, Humility and Faith and practice ways that these traits can guide us through the wilderness of our own selves.
In addition to our workshops, Noah will also be performing an opening and closing concert and ritual to bookend our retreat.
With all the miracles in our lives, any one of them would be enough to offer praise and gratitude: Dayenu.
If only we were able to be together in this virtual space... Dayenu
If only we were able to create sacred community in these trying times... Dayenu
If only we were able to join together to celebrate... Dayenu! Dayenu!
Sign up for an All Access Pass or individual events.
*Community passes also available upon request.
Maggid In Song (Family-Friendly Concert)
3.28 at 4pm EDT
Noah will lead a Passover concert featuring his unique Maggid in Song experience. With original music and a creative retelling of the Exodus story, this concert will also serve as an opening ritual to kick off a week full of meaningful workshops and programs to help elevate the Passover experience.
Vulnerability
3.30 at 1pm EDT
When we share our authentic truth with others, we not only heal ourselves, but we also create opportunities for others to enter into the healing process for themselves. We will explore examples in which the characters in our story share their limitations and in doing so strengthens others around them.
Humility
4.1 at 1pm EDT
On several occasions in the Passover story, we are shown examples of great humility. Even with the power of the Eternal literally in the palm of his hand, Moses still manages to maintain a humble vision of himself. It is, in fact, because of the rare occasions where he forgets this trait that he is prevented from entering into the Promised Land with the rest of the Israelites. This workshop will examine areas in our lives where we sometimes forget our humility and how that might be preventing us from navigating through the wilderness.
Closing Ritual and KumsitzPre-Shabbat Kumsitz
4.2 at 3pm EDT
Join us as we look back on our week together and prepare for Shabbat together in song.
Courage
3.29 at 1pm EDT
Courage is the ability to exercise ‘heart-centered decision making.’ On several occasions in the Passover story, our characters showcase their ability to act with courage, choosing to take decisive action lead by a deep commitment to the heart. This workshop will explore how we respond when it’s time to take decisive action and how the practice of opening our hearts can be a pathway to more compassionate decision making.
Awareness
3.31 at 1pm EDT
Our ability to notice the miracles that surround us is a key aspect of accessing our spirituality. This workshop explores times in the Passover story when our character’s ability to notice what others couldn’t paved the way for the greatest miracles in our tradition.
Faith
4.2 at 1pm EDT
Perhaps the most challenging trait to employ in our daily lives is that of ‘faith.’ Having the ability to let go and trust that goodness can prevail without forcing change, that others can lead, that when we release our tight grip on our lives, we make more room for miracles to occur. Our workshop on ‘Faith’ will explore times that our the characters in our Passover story either exercise faith or lose their faith, reminding us that it’s only when we let go, that we can move forward.
Community Shabbat
4.2 at 8pm EDT
Bring in Shabbat with us in a large multi-community Shabbat Service featuring renowned clergy from across the country
