Gateways Chanukah Retreat

Byrobyn

A Festival of Lights and Knowledge: Nov 29-Dec 1, 2013

Chanukah is a celebration of the miracle of Jewish spiritual survival.  After millennia of attempts to assimilate us, whether through force or persuasion, we are still here.   But, it is not mere physical survival that we celebrate.  After all, the genes of the Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians and Greeks have also physically survived.  The miracle of Jewish survival is that we have survived with our spiritual heritage intact.

Please join us at the Gateways Chanukah Retreat, where together with world renowned Gateways presenters and guest speaker, Rabbi Yitzchok Adler, we can kindle the lights of knowledge and rededicate ourselves to the values of our proud heritage.  The festivities include fabulous Saturday night entertainment, opportunities to meet with Gateways shadchanim, enjoy delicious cuisine by Nesher, and take part in the children’s Camp Gateways activities.

As an added bonus, participants can check in on Thursday Nov 28th, and celebrate Thanksgiving with Gateways.

Spaces are filling up fast. Contact Miriam at 1800-722-3191 ext 110, or email mklein@gatewaysonline.org for reservations.
