Register Now for Program Beginning in August
Whether you're just starting to explore Judaism or looking to deepen your connection, Embark is here to support you — no pressure, just great food, great people, and great conversations!
Are you and your partner looking for a meaningful way to explore Jewish life in a warm, welcoming community—without any pressure or expectations? Embark is a one-of-a-kind experience designed just for interfaith couples (where at least one partner wasn’t born Jewish) who are curious about Judaism and want to learn, grow, and celebrate together!
The initiative offers a welcoming environment where couples can connect with others in similar situations and engage with a rabbi to learn, share experiences and grow together. Embark focuses on helping couples navigate important topics such as celebrating holidays, blending family traditions and planning for the future in a way that feels authentic to their unique relationship. Through delicious meals, deep conversations, and fun, immersive experiences, you’ll meet other couples on a similar path and have Rabbi Dvir and Rabbanit Shalhevet on speed dial to answer any of your deep burning questions.
Includes six sessions of discussions over catered meals, a weekend retreat and a home-cooked Shabbat meal in an intimate setting.
