[HANASHIR:3158] Re: Kallah in July

[GurevitzR <GurevitzR...>]

Not wishing to detract from the Kallah - which everyone I know says is 
fantastic -  - but if for any reason you can't do that week, or you'd like to 
experience something similar, but a bit more intimate, on the East coast, you 
might be interested in Elat Chayyim, a Jewish Renewal retreat center in 
upstate new York, near Woodstock.  Those of you who attended Hava Nashira 
this year will have heard me talk about it, and the El Melech Ne'eman and 
Sh'ma that I led on the last morning was taught to me by Rabbi David and 
Shoshana Cooper at Elat Chayyim.  You'll all be getting brochures soon.  

You can also see the summer program (starting late June and running weekly 
courses until mid-August) at http://www.elatchayyi.org/

this Summer it will also be possible on many (but not all) of the weekends 
during the Summer to attend a special program just for Shabbat, if you can't 
manage a whole week.  Information on this isn't in the brochure, but you can 
call Elat Chayyim on 914-626-0157 for more info.

And thanks to everyone for yet another fantastic Hava Nashira!
