Makom Retreat

For the first time ever, Makom is heading to camp for a restful Shabbaton away from the chaos of city life!

We hope you will join us for a weekend retreat of relaxation, connection, and fun! Our goal is to provide opportunities for you to connect with other young Jews in Chicagoland while also having time to rest your mind and body! Our Makom retreat will feature musical Shabbat services and campfire song sessions with our fabulous songleader Steven Chaitman and Rabbi Antman, Judaica arts n' crafts with mosaic artist Chantal Blaustein, and much much more. Don't miss this unique opportunity to immerse yourself in nature with other young Jews! We cannot wait to see you in April!

If you have questions or concerns about the retreat, feel free to email our Engagement Manager and Makom guru Jude Kamler at jude@sholomchicago.org
