Nesiya: Israel Programs for Israeli and American Teens
Safe and Secure Israel Programs

Winter Retreat 2009

Journey to Maryland this winter to celebrate, explore, sing, share, learn, create, strengthen, think, and connect with American and Israeli educators, artists and friends!

The annual Nesiya Winter Retreat will take place from Monday, December 28, 2009 – Sunday, January 3, 2010, at Pearlstone Retreat Center in Reisterstown, MD. We will explore together through text study and arts workshops, afternoon programs that take advantage of our beautiful natural setting, and creative activities in the evening. Workshops culminate in a big arts happening on the last night of the program. We will also spend a wonderful Shabbat together, with lots of spirited singing, sharing, and celebrating.

We hope that many of the 2009 Israeli alumni will be able to attend this year's retreat, as well as a number of American and Israeli staff members from summer 2009.
