The holiday of Shavuot celebrates the giving of the Torah and the harvesting of the first fruits from the field. It is a festival of revelation, connection, redemption, and new beginnings. At the core of the holiday, stands the Book of Ruth - a book about human loss, interconnection, love, and care.

What can the relationships at the heart of this book teach us about chesed (lovingkindness) and teshuvah (reclamation)? In what ways is this story speaking to the power of relationships to redeem and pave a path towards wholeness? What does redemptive relationships have to do with Shavuot and accepting Torah in our lives?

At this special day retreat, we will honor the power of loving relationships and explore teachings and practices that help us think about Torah in our lives in new ways. The day will include shared study, personal reflection, embodied practices, meditative time in the gardens and the Middlefork Savanna, a farm-to-table vegetarian lunch, and time for artistic exploration.

Led by Rebecca Minkus Lieberman and Deb Wineman
