I do hereby grant permission for my child to participate in the 5th & 6th Grade Kallah at the Pearlstone Retreat Center. I understand that the program begins at B’nai Israel Congregation at 1:45 PM on Friday, March 8, and ends at B’nai Israel Congregation at approximately 12:30 PM on Sunday, March 10, 2024.

I understand that every reasonable safety precaution will be observed, but that B’nai Israel Congregation does not have accident insurance for the conduct of these activities and accepts no responsibility for any personal injury or loss of personal property connected herewith. I authorize B’nai Israel Congregation to provide emergency treatment or hospital care if it should be needed, and I absolve B’nai Israel Congregation, its staff, nurses, and physicians, and hospitals selected by it from any liability for services rendered in good faith. Of course, in the event of an emergency, every effort will be made to reach the parents or their proxy.

I understand that I am liable for all damage caused by my child to the property of others, and will reimburse B’nai Israel Congregation for such claims as determined by the program staff of B’nai Israel Congregation.

I have reviewed the attached Behavior Code with my child and understand that they must comply with the Code or be subject to disciplinary action as determined by the program staff. I understand that my child may be sent home from the Kallah at my expense if found to be in violation of this Code.
