Hike. Eat. Sing. Sleep. Pray. Learn. Relax. Or not. The Rocky Mountain Shavuot Retreat is a 3-day festival just outside Rocky Mountain National Park to celebrate the holiday of Shavuot. Shavuot commemorates the receiving of the Torah at Mount Sinai and it is traditional to gather and learn in observance of the holiday. At Na'aleh, we have taken that tradition about twenty steps further. The retreat is packed with learning opportunities for all levels, formal and informal opportunities to get to know one another, hikes, yoga, frisbee golf, basketball, delicious catered meals, a bonfire, singing, and building community. There is a mini 3-day camp for kids as well as plenty of activities designed for families to be together. In 2010, the Shavuot Retreat will be held from May 18-21. $575 for two adults and one child, $75 for an additional child.

Minyan Na'aleh does not have a permanent physical location.
Friday night services are held at Kohelet House:

Minyan Na'aleh is Denver's grassroots, lay-led, independent, progressive, pluralistic, traditional minyan (prayer community). Founded in September 2004, Na'aleh is formed around spirited prayer, communal meals, Jewish learning and social action. We meet for services and a "hybrid" potluck dinner on the first Friday night of every month as well as for most Jewish holidays, learning, yoga, shared Shabbat meals and social action events.

Events
Join us for some old fashioned amusement park fun Sunday, August 8th for the fourth annual Na'aleh outing to Lakeside!
MazelTot families can use their event discount to attend for FREE. Without a MazelTot discount Na'aleh is still offering reduced admission to the park for that day - tickets are only $10 for adults and $5 for children for unlimited rides! Your tickets may actually be used for any day for the rest of the Lakeside season (excluding Labor Day weekend), but we hope you will join us on the 8th.
There will be snacks and treats available at our meet-up point at a picnic table by the Kiddies' Playland from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Drop by to meet other Na'aleh families at 4 p.m. Bring your own picnic, we'll provide dessert. All tickets will be sold or distributed in advance, including FREE tickets for families using a MazelTot discount to attend. To use a MazelTot discount to attend for free, sign in to MazelTot and click Redeem Discount (below), then email Eliana at elianafish@msn.com by Sunday, August 1 and give us your name, contact info, and the number of tickets you need. If you are not using a MazelTot discount to attend, just email Eliana to arrange a ticket-money exchange.

There will be separate seating areas for mixed (men and women), men only and women only. Childcare is provided.
