Rabbi Audrey will be there with her family. She will lead discussions on Saturday morning (to start our Shabbat service) and Sunday morning.

I’ll be sending out an email a few weeks before the weekend with signup forms.

The cost this year will be $204 per person (our actual cost). The subsidized cost is $150 per person. You are encouraged to pay whatever is appropriate to you. If you haven’t already contacted me, please send me an email and let me know if you are planning to attend.
