Celebrate Shavuot with Rabbi Shefa Gold and mashpia ruchani (Spiritual Director) Jon Gottsegen in a unique, transformative experience of receiving Torah from the wilderness in southwest Colorado. We’ll experience the revelation at Sinai as our ancestors did…in the mountains. We’ll wander, chant, connect with the wild, and open to the teachings the mountains, forests and creatures offer us. This is a four-night camping experience in a Forest Service campground at 7,500 feet elevation outside of Durango. Potable water and pit toilets available. Meals included and prepared and cleaned up communally. Bring your own camping gear, eating utensils. Gear may be rented in Durango.
“We welcome the Israeli government’s suspension of legislative consideration of judicial reform measures.
“The last three months have been painful to watch and yet a textbook case of democracy in action. We respect the political leaders, business executives, community activists, cultural figures, and ordinary Israelis who took to the streets, exercising their love of country, and their passion for democracy.
“As a next step, we encourage all Knesset factions, coalition and opposition alike, to use this time to build a consensus that includes the broad support of Israeli civil society.
“Israel’s political leaders must insist on a more respectful tone and debate. A hallmark of democracy is public consensus and mutual consideration.
“The Conference of Presidents, the Anti-Defamation League, the American Jewish Committee, AIPAC, and the Jewish Federations of North America will continue to confer with Israel’s governmental and civic leaders to ensure that the views of American Jewry are represented in the discussion. We are confident the resilience of Israeli democracy will successfully overcome the tremendous challenges it faces.”
