Adventure Rabbi

Adventure Rabbi can be described as a synagogue without walls. Founded in November 2001, the goal is to bring Jews back into communal religious life, through innovative religious programs, which combine the outdoors and Jewish practice.

People of all ages, singles, couples, and families, come from all over the country (but especially Colorado) to join together to learn, celebrate and create a new kind of Jewish community. Our retreats include Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Ski Retreat and Passover. We also feature Destination Bar & Bat Mitzvah ceremonies for Bar / Bat Mitzvah candidates.

In between retreats, we join for monthly Shabbat events, holidays, and informal events found on our Social Networking site. In general, we are a "pay as you go" community, but we do rely heavily on donations and grants in order to sustain our community.

Adventure Rabbi is philosophically and theologically aligned with Progressive Judaism in general and the Reform and Reconstructionist Movements, more specifically. We are dedicated to creating opportunities to enhance our participants relationship with self, community and God. We provide a Jewish backdrop and context for their lives and through positive, communal Jewish experiences improve our participants sense of Jewish identity.

The Adventure Rabbi program is led by Rabbi Jamie Korngold, author of the best selling book, God in the Wilderness. (Doubleday, 2008).
