ABOUT RETREATS
Step out of the weekly rush and into something deeper.
YJP Retreats bring together young Jewish professionals for immersive weekend experiences filled with connection, inspiration, good food, meaningful conversations, Jewish energy and plenty of time to unwind.
From Shabbat retreats and winter getaways to leadership weekends and destination experiences, our retreats are designed to help young adults connect with community in a relaxed, vibrant and memorable setting.
