About the Event

Calling midwestern Jewish farmers! Join us for a connective Shabbat on the land! 

We know how hard it can be to get away from the farm in September, but a restful Shabbat with fellow Jewish farmers might be exactly what you need to prep for the high holidays.

Together we will tap into the ancestral brilliance of a day of rest, enjoy farm fresh meals, cultivate a community of midwestern Jewish farmers, and sit with the questions that come with it all. No Shabbat experience necessary! Come as you are <3

**Registration is first come, first serve with only 15 spots available!**

Thanks to the Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Center for making this gathering possible!
