Join Cantor Abrams and Dana Yugend-Pepper with Beth El members (and others from the community) on a memorable trip down the calm waters of the Adriatic Coast of Croatia. We’ll sail by day and stop to tour the Islands and quaint towns by day and spend evenings docked, allowing us to wander and explore the port town with dinner on our own.
This trip is during the month of Elul, when we blow shofar every morning and spend time preparing for the High Holy Days through a process of Cheshbon Hanefesh (self-reflection). So in addition to our touring, swimming, playing, learning about the Jewish history and more with our tour guides and special guests, feasting on chef prepared meals on the boat, relaxing on the deck of our private yacht , becoming friends with those we do not know, enjoying the glorious scenery – we will celebrate two Shabbatot together and study mussar/ middot (character traits) that will help us come to the Yamim Nora’im (Days of Awe) in a more mindful manner. Our trip will end with an intimate slichot service (the service that kicks off the Holidays) on our hotel rooftop or
on the beach.
