BeST Trips
Shabbat Unplugged Retreat February 2011
Shabbat Unplugged BeST II
Date: February 10-12, 2012
BeST II spends first semester studying Shabbat- the most frequent Jewish Holiday and one that provides a distinctly Jewish rhythm to the passage of time. The study of Shabbat builds up to our teens having a great time over Shabbat at Pearlstone Retreat Center in Maryland.
To reserve a space for your student on this amazing trip, submit this form and mail a check made out to Temple Beth Sholom for $75. Please put "8th grade retreat" in the memo line. Total cost is $275. A second payment of $200 will be due by December 1.
Does your teen want to read Torah at the retreat? Please include that in the comments box.
