One of our most cherished traditions is the Annual Women's Retreat—a time to step away from the demands of daily life and immerse ourselves in a weekend of rest, renewal, and community. Held at OSRUI, the Union for Reform Judaism’s first summer camp in the nation, the retreat offers a powerful blend of natural beauty, Jewish learning, and deep connection.
 
Emanuel is proud that OSRUI was founded by Rabbi Herman E. Schaalman z”l, whose legacy of vision and inclusion continues to inspire the retreat’s mission: to create welcoming, reflective spaces where all women can grow, connect, and thrive in community.
​
As our group continues to evolve, we welcome new voices and look forward to building even more opportunities to connect and grow together within our beloved congregation.

* Women – At Emanuel, all who identify with or feel affirmed by the spirit of this group are welcome. This includes women, non-binary individuals, and anyone whose life experience resonates with the mission of the Emanual.
