💙We are so grateful for the rich, soul-filled time we got to share together at the 2026/5786 Summer Retreat. With the company of the pines and hills of Isabella Freedman, over delightful conversations at meals, during the deep learning from our teachers, and while absolutely sweating buckets…We were blessed by countless songs. Some ancient songs, some brand new tunes, and infinite moments of being transformed by the power of singing together. We are leaving with a renewed awe in what we can do, when we do it together. In the words of a participant: “LMPS allows me to feel in a time where I’m having so much trouble accessing my emotions. It allows me to imagine different possibilities for a Jewish future - one that is rooted in justice and allows everyone to feel at home in their Judaism.”
🙏For those who joined us in person, thank you for bringing your broken hearts, your courage, care, and voice to the space – we quite literally could not have done it without you. For those who weren’t with us in person, we want to keep growing this project with you – check out the link in our bio to stay up to date on some ways to stay connected, and keep sharing music with one another. May we all continue tapping into the power of communal song to reveal the cracks and openings needed to get us through these times.
