SUMMARY:Eshel National Retreat 2025
DESCRIPTION:Friday January 17 – Sunday January 19\nIsabella Freedman \nFalls Village\, CT\n			\n				Join Waitlist\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Community: Building and Belonging\nCelebrate all the ways we gather and build our communities as LGBTQ+ people and as Jews. Whether you’re part of a close-knit community or building your own path\, we’ll come together as LGBTQ+ Jews from all walks of life to connect\, share\, and celebrate our unique journeys. With new friends and familiar faces\, this retreat is a safe haven and a supportive space to learn\, reflect\, and deepen the connections that shape us. If you are looking for connection and community in these uncertain times\, spend the weekend with us to relax and recharge. Discover the warmth of a welcoming\, inclusive space that feels like home in a community that supports and understands you fully. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eshel is like coming home\, only better. Meeting new and old friends\, in a natural setting\, with interesting programming – its something I look forward to all year long. \n					Sheindy\n					 \n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					I came to appreciate that there are so many in our Jewish community who want to feel accepted and valued – and that our Jewish community institutions and organizations sometimes don’t provide that … Eshel\, and a retreat like this\, plays an important role in addressing an issue that often flies under the radar. \n					Keith Krivitzky\n					 \n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					This was my first ever LGBT event and I felt washed over with love and tenderness. I felt really seen. \n					Anonymous\n					 \n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Is this retreat for me?What happens at the retreat?What does the Isabella Freedman Retreat Center offer?How do I get there?What time does the retreat start and end?Is there financial aid available?\n				\n				\n					\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Wherever you are on your journey\, whether you are questioning\, closeted\, or looking for community: this is the place for you. We strive to make this a judgement-free space for learning and personal growth. We only ask that each attendee agree to respect other participants’ feelings and attitudes. Each person is on their own journey\, which includes many detours\, twists\, and turns. Come with an open mind and remember that everyone’s path is unique. \nQueer or LGBTQ+ Jewish adults\, their partners\, and families are welcome. Children’s programming will be provided throughout many parts of the retreat. \nWe all have our own unique Jewish journeys. This is a space for those who are committed to or see themselves in communities of traditional Jewish observance. We welcome participants of all backgrounds\, including Modern Orthodox\, Yeshivish\, Chassidic\, Sephardi\, traditional\, formerly Orthodox\, and Ortho-curious. \nWe take confidentiality very seriously. All participants must agree and sign Eshel’s confidentiality policy. Retreat attendees may not disclose the identity of anyone else without explicit permission. Participants can only share what they hear at the retreat with an individual’s permission. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				At our national retreat\, the largest annual gathering of LGBTQ+ Orthodox Jews\, we spend Shabbat getting to know each other\, davening\, learning\, singing\, shmoozing\, and relaxing. On Saturday night\, we let loose and have fun together! Sunday provides more opportunities to learn together\, including some unique activities. Past offerings have included text studies such as “Leviticus through the Looking Glass\,” “Gender Transformations in Rabbininc Literature\,” as well as safrut\, rainbow candle making\, and “Sensuality and the Sacred in 1900 Queer Jewish Writing.” Throughout the retreat\, you’ll be part of a small chaburah group to discuss and process each step of the journey. \nWe welcome proposals for sessions from participants. Contact info@eshelonline.org for more information. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nBeautiful indoor and outdoor gathering spaces\nDelicious\, sustainable\, and glatt kosher food under supervision of the Hartford Kashrut Commission\nShomer Shabbat environment in beautiful surroundings\nA commitment to sustainability through energy efficiency\, food justice\, animal welfare\, and supporting healthy ecosystems\nConveniently located within 2.5 hours of New York and Boston\nA shuttle service from the nearest Metro North station\nLearn more about the facilities\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Participants are responsible for transportation to and from the retreat. Isabella Freedman retreat center is located about a 2.5 hour drive from New York\, a 3.5 hour drive from Boston\, or just over an hour from Hartford. We offer a shuttle service from the Wassaic Metro North station to and from Isabella Freedman for $35 each way. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Participants are welcome to arrive any time between 2:00 – 4:00 pm on Friday. The retreat ends at 1:30 pm on Sunday. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				We are able to provide flexible payment plans to all retreat attendees – email sara@eshelonline.org to request a weekly or monthly payment plan. \nFor some\, attending the National Retreat may require some sacrifice – choosing to cut back on other discretionary spending such as going out to dinner\, buying coffee\, or paying for entertainment. We believe the transformative experience of the national retreat is worthwhile. For others\, attending the cost of attending the National Retreat may present a hardship if it would make it difficult to put food on the table\, pay rent\, or pay for transportation to work. If attending the national retreat would present a hardship for you\, you may be eligible to receive financial aid. \nThe deadline to apply for financial aid was December 1 and has passed\, so we are no longer accepting applications. You will receive a confirmation email once your application has been received – please reach out to us if you don’t get a confirmation email. Financial aid decisions will be emailed out on a rolling basis.

Her inevitable break with the community came when she came out as a lesbian on social media. \nAfter being shunned by her community\, Forster has found unexpected redemption through social media\, where her “Tichel Tuesday” videos are much-shared viral sensations. \n“This show is my love letter to all the pieces of who I am – the Jewish humor\, the Yiddish soul\, the modern woman. It’s pure ‘YENTATAINMENT!’
