Winter Retreat

Since 1989, Nesiya has conducted an annual week-long Winter Retreat in the U.S. integrating arts workshops, creative study, and a shared celebration of Shabbat and Judaism. The Winter Retreat is a critical follow-up program for Nesiya alumni and also provides educational leadership training for high school, college and post-college age young adults.

I have Nesiya to thank in large part for my life’s path. Being at the Winter Retreats inspired me to do what I feel is meaningful in life. I am one of the lucky ones, who can wake up in the morning not dreading going to work, and who can come home at night feeling that I make a difference.
