The Mishpacha groups meet daily for small, informal discussion and reflection on the retreat experience. Elat Chayyim's intern program is an exciting way to become part of the community. Summer interns work full time in a wide range of services for an eight-week period. In exchange, interns receive room and board, a small stipend, and the chance to attend either morning or afternoon classes. Please contact the office to request an application.
Some possibilities exist for year-long internships as well.
During your stay at Elat Chayyim, you can visit our shop which offers a wide variety of Judaica. We carry an excellent selection of books covering topics of interest to Jewish learners from midrash to meditation, fiction to ethics. Our selection includes books by many of those who teach at the center, plus prayerbooks and other traditional texts. We carry a large range of music, art, jewelry and clothing. In addition, we have ritual items and beautiful tallitot, many of which are handcrafted by Judaic artists for use in daily and festival Jewish spiritual practices.
