Getting the Band Back Together: Third Annual CSI Retreat
More than 140 Shearith Israel members traveled to Camp Ramah Darom in North Georgia for a member retreat March 4-6. Families of all ages, members new and long-standing, and even a handful of prospective members gathered together to connect (and reconnect!) after too many months of pandemic-created distance.
The beautiful Spring weather provided a perfect opportunity to play, hike, pray, learn, play and schmooze together. Activities included two foraging hikes, yoga sessions, multiple prayer services at the gorgeous lakeside pavilion, delicious meals together, raucous game of BINGO cleverly incorporating a multi-generational staring contest, too many pick up soccer and basketball games to count, a family scavenger hunt, tug-of-war, learning sessions, crowd-sourced conversations, a moon-lit Havdalah, singing & s'mores by the campfire and trivia night. The weekend ended with a kids' fun run and two grown-up 'races' (a 1 mile and 5K course) as our congregation participated in the 2022 Hunger Walk - an event that raises money for the Atlanta Community Food Bank.
Special thanks to the Shearith Israel professional staff and the incredible volunteer committee (Emily Kaiman, Jaci Effron, Esther Graff-Radford, Robbie Medwed, Navit Robkin Salzberg). Be on the lookout for more stories from the weekend - including the one about a guest appearance by a local ram!
