Event Description

Base UWS in partnership with Embark is launching “Building a Home Together: Couples Learning Cohort.” While this cohort is especially designed for interfaith and mixed heritage couples, all are welcome.

Through learning and discussion based on ancient and modern Jewish sources, we’ll dive deep into what it means to build a home together, create meaningful weekly ritual, observe the Jewish calendar, and strengthen our relationships. Our cohort will meet for six learning sessions and Shabbat dinner at Base UWS, plus a weekend retreat!

  • Cohort sessions from 7:30-9:30PM:

    • Wednesday, July 30: “What is your story”
    • Wednesday, August 6: “Jews: Diversity and Connection”
    • Wednesday, August 20 “Jewish Holidays”
    • Wednesday, August 27: “Connection and Belonging”
    • Wednesday, September 3: “Shabbat: The Crafting of Intentional Time”
    • Wednesday, September 10: “Our Home: Building Family Rituals”

    + Cohort Retreat August 8-10 & Shabbat Dinner on September 5!

The Embark participant fee is $180 per couple, and we ask for a $100 retreat deposit (to be returned post-retreat). Please contact Rabbi Danny (danny.stein@memglobal.org) with any questions or financial assistance (scholarships are available).
