With 120 people registered, Nehirim and Queer Shabbaton Amsterdam’s join venture, the New York Queer Shabbaton, is already a hug success.  Our sources tell us that the JCC of Manhattan has been a very positive and helpful host and that we should all expect a great retreat.

I must admit having a retreat in the city, especially with everyone retreating to their home, home of others, and hotels at night, seems a bit strange.  But the schedule and the number of people should definitely create a great space for learning and community.

See you at the retreat!  And if you’re not going, we’ll post an update here so you can find out how it went.
