Annual Women's Weekend
The Original Social Networking: Relationships with friends, family and G-d
January 27-29, 2012

The Annual Women's Retreat is held in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin at our summer camp,Olin Sang Ruby Union Institute (OSRUI), about 2.5 hours from Chicago. The program begins at 6:30 pm Friday and ends at 12:30 pm Sunday. There is no better way to get to know the women of Emanuel. So even if you have never attended before, this is the time and place to start!  Given the theme of the weekend is about relationships, this year we will allow Emanuel members to bring a non-member guest to the retreat at a slightly higher fee. Guests must specify sponsor on the registration form. No registration is allowed without full payment before the Retreat. For the registration form, click here. For more information  contact Marlene Dodinval (marlenedodinval@gmail.com) or Laurel Crown (laurelbcrown@yahoo.com).

Emanuel's annual retreats combine learning, music and worship into a powerful community-building experience. All the retreats offer participants a chance to stay together on the shores of Lac LaBelle in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin at the Reform movement's camp, Olin-Sang-Ruby Union Institute.

Emanuel holds an annual Memorial Day Weekend Retreat. The chance to study issues of Jewish concern, get to know one another, and have fun are some of the reasons that the Memorial Day Retreat has been one of Emanuel's favorite events for many years. If you are new to Emanuel, the Retreat is a great way to meet new friends and spend some time in a relaxed and beautiful environment. Young and old, singles and families are encouraged to attend. Participants meet in advance to discuss program and discussion topics. Please contact the Emanuel office, at 773-561-5173 for more information about any retreat. Children's programming and babysitting available. Want to know more? See below for some frequently asked questions. Or click here for more information and a registration form.
