Whether it’s a warm family home, nearby hotel or

Airbnb, your Shliach and JLI are happy to assist you in making arrangements that best suit your needs. Please note that hotel and rental fees are not included.

The program costs $399 per adult and a $150 per child.

The registration fee is an all-inclusive rate for the full weekend experience.

It includes access to all tours, programs accommodations and meals.

See the schedule below.

We’ll experience the pulse of Jewish life in the Chabad movement’s lively hometown, enjoy  warm,  spirited Shabbat meals, stimulate our minds with discussions on  big Jewish ideas that matter, and join a community of friendly Jews like yourself from all over the world.

 

As we explore the nerve center of the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s leadership, we’ll discover personal connection in the beauty of Jewish life and learning. I’m looking forward to experiencing this journey together.
