Get away with your family and friends for a memorable and meaningful B’nai Israel
Congregational Shabbaton.
Join Rabbi Safra and Rabbi Berkowitz for a weekend away at Pearlstone Retreat Center. We will offer programs and activities for members of all ages.
Pearlstone offers hotel-style accommodations, surrounded by picturesque rolling hills, wooded
forest trails and fresh air on 180-acres of nature to explore and enjoy.
We can’t wait to make this special weekend happen for our entire B’nai Israel community!
The Congregational Shabbaton programming will be designed with all age groups in mind.
