Elul on the Lake Basecamp Retreat
September 20-22, 2024
Meet your amazing trek leader, Binah!
Binah is obsessed with Judaism, the woods and the way words help us heal. She facilitates healing through poetry classes and shiatsu massage therapy. She has performed freestyle poetry from Hawaii to Jerusalem. She recently climbed Mt. Jefferson and is only mildly afraid of heights. She finds Jewish practice to be highly experiential and enjoys sharing that medicine with others.
She is always up for spontaneous improv scenes and finds playing characters is generally more fun-- and often more revealing-- than playing ourselves. She recently wrote her first play. Catch her around the Boston area, or visiting Crown Heights.

Join us as fellow seekers and friends as we invigorate our bodies, open our hearts, and strengthen our souls as we head into the month of Elul.
"I am to my Beloved, and my Beloved is to me."
The famous verse hinted to by the month of Elul will guide our journey together as we seek to feel personal, loving connection with the Life of Life that we encounter so powerfully in nature, tapping into our inner will and voice.
Nestled in the magical forests of Blairstown, New Jersey, we will be camping along a gorgeous lake at AMC's Mohican Outdoor Center.
Bring a friend, connect with new friends, and be empowered on your Jewish Journey.

Shomer Shabbat and Kashrut
All adventures are kosher and shomer Shabbat, honoring individual practice and fully supporting observance of mitzvot. Friday afternoon has always been the peak of every Lech-Lecha adventure, as we prepare by cooking dinner, gathering water, building the eiruv and bringing intention into our Shabbat together.
Tales from the Trail
"Lech-Lecha was such a unique and special experience. The opportunity to celebrate Shabbat in the woods and focus on the present moment helped me connect to Judaism spiritually in a way that I hadn't done in a long time. I also enjoyed meeting a lovely group of other Jewish young adults from all different backgrounds, and felt like the discussions we had and the traditions we shared with each other enriched the trip."
