Annual WRS events

• Women of Rodef Sholom/Retreat, September
  Our retreat is a special time women of Congregation Rodef Sholom spend together. We take the time to take a break from the busyness of our lives and to renew our selves. Friendships are formed and strengthened and we learn more about Judaism and ourselves.  There are joyous services, full of singing and learning.  We have a variety of workshops, usually both as a whole community and in smaller groups. There is time to relax. Both Friday and Saturday night we have evening programs, which over the years have included films, discussions, rituals, and other participatory activities.  To hear from past participants, click here.
