A wonderful way to spend a weekend...

Turn it into Shabbos!

Celebrate Shabbos
in a way you never did before

Find New Meaning
in prayers you've said
a thousand times before

Connect With Jews
who are different but
have everything in common

Shabbos is an oasis in time. G-d rested, therefore we rest. Shabbos is our time. We stop and reflect on life, family and our world. We take time to contemplate G-d, his people, and how we fit in.

Enjoy the stimulation of thought-provoking presentations and the warm fellowship that this weekend will provide. An experience for both heart and mind.

The Issues

1.The Jewish people present a unique phenonmenon. How can we explain the disproportionate amount of attention the State of Israel, the Jewish businessman and Judaism receive?

Why do Jews make news?

2. Dress sets some of the religious apart while name and race mark most of the less observant. This is the reality of being a Jew; there is not room for moral dilemmas in confronting what is inevitable. The same can’t be said for the choices we make that bring us as individuals and, like it or not, as representatives of all Jews into the glare of the public eye.

Inevitably a Jew Stands Out.

3. Your brother’s daughter invites you to her intermarriage ceremony and insists that if you don’t attend you will be splitting the family and she won’t raise her children as Jews.

Tolerance.

Congregation Bais Torah families have opened their homes for this Shabbaton.

They present a beautiful combination of Torah values, while being fully integrated in the business and professional world.

FEE: $50.00 Per Person
