Jewish Women’s Getaway
Join us for the 8th annual Jewish Women’s Getaway at Ramah Darom
Sun., Nov. 10 – Wed., Nov. 13, 2019
Come to the North Georgia mountains for three days of laughter, singing, self-expression, connection, exploration and fun this fall.
Jewish Women’s Getaway looks to build connections and community for Jewish Women while delving into our rich tradition and exploring it through art, music and other creative mediums. We hope to inspire women to explore their unique Jewish journeys while enjoying nature, adventure and delicious, healthy Kosher cuisine.
What you can look forward to this year:
- Immersive tracks in art, movement, writing and music led by professional artists and educators to help us explore our theme of Blessings.
- Outdoor adventures and fitness, complete with hiking, ropes courses, yoga and more.
- Participant-led sessions – check out Volunteer Opportunities below.
- Healthy, delicious and Kosher chef-prepared meals.
- And of course, plenty of time to relax on the porch, marvel at the changing leaves, a glass of wine in hand.
