Join the Adventure Rabbi community in Moab, Utah for a Passover retreat.
Friday night we open the retreat with singing on the banks of the Colorado River. This welcoming program will help you feel included if you come alone or with friends for the first time or the tenth. Following the opening program, we split into groups. Children under 12 years of age play games and do crafts. Adults enjoy a wine tasting, and discussion with Rabbi Alan Shavit-Lonstein. Teens and the B’nai Mitzvah age students take a night hike with Rabbi Jamie Korngold. We all come back together to toast marshmallows around the bonfire. Dinner will be provided by our caterer and is certain to be delicious.
Saturday, we embark on a wilderness journey for our Seder, an all-day event including a 3-mile (round trip) Seder hike up a gorgeous, winding rock canyon. We return to the campground to enjoy a delicious catered Seder, complete with matzah ball soup and all the fixings. Later in the evening, we will enjoy the campfire and perhaps a spontaneous game of flashlight tag.
Sunday we offer a hike with Rabbi Jamie Korngold or perhaps some other offerings by our talented participants. We hike towards (but not all the way to) Jeep Arch. We conclude before lunch and head home.
