Thanks for joining us at our 45th Annual Retreat in Half Moon Bay!
Am Tikvah’s Annual Retreat is a tradition from the legacy synagogue B’nai Emunah that has continued for 45 years. On Saturday November 18th and Sunday November 19th, 2023, we had an opportunity to take a break away from the business of our outwardly-focused lives. We were excited to announce that we had two scholars this year!
Rabbi Daniel Chorny was be our Scholar in Residence on Saturday, leading two lectures about creative rituals in both secular and religious contexts.
Rabbi Cantor Hillary Chorny, Cantor at Temple Beth Am in Los Angeles, was our Scholar in Residence on Sunday to lead a workshop on design-based creative rituals for both personal and communal inspiration.
