CHAI Award presentation – only presented at NER JCoS’ Annual Conference |
Don’t miss out on this once a year opportunity for great fellowship and great ideas on how to energize your JCOS program. We’ve designed a conference with appeal to Scouters, Scouting Professionals and sponsoring organizations across all age groups.
Reeves Lodge will serve as a lodging facility for those from out of town who need to arrive before Sunday morning. Cost for Saturday overnight is $18/per person – quadruple occupancy.
ANNOUNCING OUR FIRST EVER NERJCoS RETREAT THAT SERVES THE SHOMER SHABBAT: For those who would like to spend the weekend in strict observance of Shabbat, plan to arrive at Reeves before the veil of Shabbat and enjoy a joyous Oneg Shabbat dinner and service, light breakfast, Shabbat Morning Service, gala Kiddush luncheon, afternoon Dv’rei Torah and Nature Walk, and of course evening Havdallah service. What a wonderful way to spend the weekend…. Total fee for 5 meals, 2 night stay and conference fee is $100/person. And yes, you can arrive Friday night after Shabbat but you must respect Shabbat rules and not turn on or off lights, cook or use cell phones in Reeves Lodge. Cabin lights will be established to help you find your way and left on till Shabbat is ended. You don’t have to be a Shomer Shabbat to enjoy this wonderful opportunity to enjoy a complete weekend of Jewish Scouting and camaraderie.
