The retreat
Rosh Hashanah on a private Vermont estate, with Torah, community and space to enjoy the mountains.
Rosh Hashanah is the center of the retreat: kosher holiday meals, minyan, tefillah, Torah learning and meaningful time around the table. The private estate adds an indoor pool, hot tub, game room, gym, shared living spaces and a Southern Vermont mountain setting.
The group is intentionally curated for young adults and young families, whether coming solo, with friends, as a couple or as a family. Shared meals and learning create the rhythm; the estate and surrounding mountains give people room to relax, talk and actually spend time together.
