Kitchen Escape – Member Retreat
We're heading to the mountains for an off–the–grid, 36 hours of shabbos goodness. Take a deep breath, relax, and dig deep into shabbat – this is going to be good. A shabbaton with The Kitchen is your path to an all – inclusive, weekend getaway escape. It's one part relaxation, one part Jewish, one part inspiration.
This year, we’re back at Camp Newman in the Sonoma County foothills for a weekend where we will learn, create, connect and play. You’ll also be getting some R&R with the brand new lodge rooms & revamped cabins. We'll celebrate Shabbat through programs that include activities for everyone (adults, kids, families), communal meals, and learning.
The Kitchen Escape is exclusively for Kitchen Members. Registration opens December 2024
Kitchen Playground Passover
Jump back in time during this immersive Passover experience in partnership with Tkiya Music. We’ll re-enact the Exodus with music, stories, movement, scavenger hunts, sensory experiences, and of course — eating. We’ll provide the ritual nosh – matzah, maror, charoset, karpas – and bring your own picnic blanket and lunch to enjoy.

18 Stories of Jewish Thought with Rabbi Noa Kushner
Don’t consider these your last 18, just your first.
While we could all argue (and hopefully, we will) about just which stories are the foundation of jewish thought, Rabbi Kushner has whittled her considerable list down to these 18 – as the most evocative, promising gates into jewish thinking. Don’t worry, she’ll tie these stories to the holidays, lifecycles, commandments, prayers and lots of other things, too.
