Join us at Isabella Freedman, an Adamah Retreat Center in Falls Village, Connecticut, for Rosh Hashanah, October 2-6, 2024. Welcome 5785 from the Berkshire mountains surrounded by lush forests, a sparkling lake, and an organic farm.
We offer the highest quality organic kosher meals, under supervision of the Hartford Kashrut Commission. We can accommodate many dietary restrictions including gluten free, nut- free, egg-free and more.
Our Orthodox Mechitza minyan will be led by Rabbis and Rabbinical Students of Yeshivat Chovevei Torah (YCT). There will also be a Traditional Egalitarian minyan, led by Rabbi Ravid Tilles, Director of Jewish Life and Learning at Schechter Boston.
Our various educators will lead a series of classes throughout the holiday, as well as yoga, tours of our organic farm, and guided hikes on our trails. While many of our activities are family friendly, there will also be a dedicated camp for kids.
