February Shabbaton

February 7 @ 6:00 pm - February 8 @ 8:30 pm

Let’s welcome back Dr. Rena Secter Elbaze for our first Shabbaton weekend of 2025! The multi-talented Dr. Elbaze serves a lay leader as well as Executive Director of Winnipeg’s most historic synagogue, Shaarey Zedek. A leading voice in the study of Jewish wisdom in a contemporary world, her services promise to be as insightful as they are inspiring. She’ll be coming to us fresh from a recent stay in Florida, so let’s be sure to give her an extra warm reception here in the wintry Okanagan!


Saturday evening, join Dr. Elbaze as she leads us in the beautiful and little-known ritual of the Tu B’Shevat seder. More than just planting trees, this holiday combines ancient traditions with modern environmental awareness. We’ll eat fruits grown in Israel, and honour the connection between people and the land.

We look forward to celebrating with you!
