OrH Presents: Shabbat Camp!
Machaneh Shabbat (Shabbat Camp) is an inclusive, family-based weekly Jewish learning adventure providing innovative and engaging Jewish education for families with children of all ages. Welcoming the participation of parents, grandparents, and younger siblings, our camp model allows us to explore Torah, prayer, Hebrew and the Jewish year through field trips, drama, art, social action, cooking, building and more! We believe that we can ignite the lifelong spark for Jewish living and learning through community connection and taking the time to live Jewishly especially on Shabbat. This spark is the key to raising engaged and informed Jewish young people!
New this year: Machaneh Aleph (for pre-school children).
Registration is ongoing throughout the year.
REGISTER NOW!
