THE ALEPH KALLAH

ALEPH announces the 2009 Kallah!

Living in the Light of G!d: Making Every Day Holy
June 29 -- July 5, 2009
Ohio Wesleyan University
Columbus, OH

The biennial ALEPH Kallah is the cornerstone event of the Jewish Renewal Movement, inspiring hundreds of Jews from diverse backgrounds to learn, pray, celebrate and deepen their experience of Judaism.

This year's gathering will take place at Ohio Wesleyan University (OWU), an intimate campus with historic buildings, park like green expanses and a wonderful sustainable, local and organic conscious food service. It is just outside of Columbus OH, and driving distance from Cleveland (2 hrs), Chicago (5 1/2 hrs), and Philadelphia (7 1/2 hrs)

Past Kallot have drawn as many as 900 people from all over the world, including hundreds of rabbis, teachers, performers, artists and leaders offering a wide range of courses and programs.

RFPs for classes, workshops, etc. will be coming out by September -- keep your eye on our website.  If you're interested in helping to plan, please contact kallahajr@rcn.com. Our planning committee will be forming this fall.

Hope to see you there!
