Come to participate in JOC-led Jewish learning, prayer and ritual, spirited singing, embodied nature-based spiritual connection, and nourishing kosher farm-to-table meals. Programming is available for families with young children, youth, and adults, including diverse prayer options and varied affinity spaces!
