In its fourth year, the Nathan and Louise Schwartz OU Rabbinic Retreat will provide pulpit rabbis the opportunity to convene together with their rabbinic colleagues. Away from the hustle and bustle of rabbinic life, participants will be able to speak candidly through peer oriented discussions, while simultaneously afforded the sacred space to relax and recharge their batteries. This year we are excited to share that the retreat will be moving to an exciting new location, the Kaplan Mitchel Retreat Center at Ramah Darom. Nestled in the foothills of the pristine, scenic and lush Blue Ridge Mountains of Northeast Georgia, this tranquil oasis will provide Rabbis throughout North America the opportunity and space to reconnect with themselves and their Rabbinic peers. Registration for the all-inclusive three day event includes individualized hotel accommodations, elegantly catered meals and recreational activities. Upon the conclusion of the retreat, participating rabbis will feel refreshed, rejuvenated and prepared to return to lead their respective communities with a sophisticated toolkit of practical skills and collective, shared wisdom. The retreat will begin at 1:00 pm on Monday May 13, 2019 and end at 2:00 pm on Wednesday May 15, 2019.
