Join us at Isabella Freedman, an Adamah Retreat Center in Falls Village, Connecticut, for either the first days (October 16-20) or second days (October 23-27) of Sukkot. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Berkshires, you can experience this harvest holiday amongst the tall trees and a sparkling lake that features a floating sukkah!
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 Sukkot retreat, affectionately named, Sukkahfest, is a joyous and diverse gathering for Jews of all ages and backgrounds. During the first days of Sukkot, we will be offering a Partnership Mechitza Minyan led by Rabbis Ezra Weinberg and Avram Mlotek. There will also be a Renewal Minyan led by Beit Kohenet Institute members Shoshana Jedwab, Rabbi Jill Hammer, Kohenet Shamirah Bechirah, and more.
Our Simchat Torah retreat, called Simchafest, has a different meaning this year. It will be a transformative experience, designed to help our community reclaim the capacity for joy exactly one year after experiencing profound trauma on this very holiday. Rabbi Menachem Creditor, an acclaimed author and speaker, who is serving as a Scholar in Residence at UJA-Federation New York, will be leading many classes, along with Rabbi David Kalb, and Dr. Sara Rozner Lawrence.
The serene and nurturing environment of the Isabella Freedman Retreat Center will provide the perfect backdrop for this healing journey.
Kids Programming
We look forward to welcoming your family to our campus! Camp Adamah offers engaging programming for children ages 2-12. Adamah’s values of cultivating vibrant Jewish life in deep connection with the earth through joy, love, and hope are exemplified in all of our activities. At our holiday retreats, children will have the opportunity to explore the land, forest and farm. All activities are shabbat and holiday friendly. Activities include meeting the chickens, hiking to the magnificent overlook, forest games, nature art, field games, and more! Kids programming will be outdoors as much as possible, including in the rain; a raincoat, rain boots, hiking boots or sneakers, and a labeled water bottle are required.
