Dear Friends,

Last February, nearly 30 congregants gathered for a weekend retreat with Lori and me. We enjoyed wonderful meals, informal Shabbat services, the peaceful beauty of natural surroundings, friendship and lots of laughter. It was such a successful way to pull together as a community, we are planning another Shabbat Retreat, once again over Presidents Weekend, February 17-19, 2017. Our 2nd Annual STAR (Shabbat Together / Adult Retreat) Retreat will take place at Pearlstone Retreat Center, 2 ½ hours south of Philadelphia.

We're adding an element of reflection to this year's retreat focusing on "Purposeful Living." If you have been thinking lately about where your life's path has brought you and where you might find meaning and purpose as you take your next steps, this retreat will give you a chance to reflect privately and within a circle of friendship. Since we have limited space at Pearlstone, I urge you to enroll as soon as you are able, in order to reserve your places. You will find registration materials in the weekly congregational email or by clicking on this link. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Shabbat shalom,

Neil
