Elat Chayyim Center for Jewish Spirituality
 Renewing Jewish spirituality in the 21st century
Elat Chayyim Center for Jewish Spirituality provides doorways to renew Jewish spirituality through prayer, yoga, meditation, social action, text study, relationships, holidays, and more. As we continue to offer the transformative and cutting-edge retreat experiences carried over from Elat Chayyim in Accord, NY, our year-round programs promote practices that draw on the wisdom of Jewish tradition and reflect the values and consciousness of our evolving society. We offer experiential approaches to Jewish learning, ritual, and prayer to help all of us on our spiritual journey, cultivating awareness of the Divine presence in all aspects of life.
“This place opened my mind to what healthy, vibrant, connected, spiritual Jewish community can look like. It made me hopeful about my own life, spiritually and otherwise.” – Elat Chayyim retreat participant
Elat Chayyim:
- Raises up Jewish spiritual retreats as an essential building block towards a vibrant and engaged community
- Engages body, heart, mind, and soul through transformative learning and communal experiences
- Functions as a research and development branch of the Jewish community, prioritizing creativity and innovation in the realm of Jewish thought and practice
- Collaborates with creative Jewish leadership to produce unique transformative retreat experiences
- Builds partnerships to create new synergies and constellations of otherwise divergent streams of Jewish community
- Allows meaningful spiritual innovations to become tradition, while traditional practices become more relevant and meaningful to those unfamiliar or disengaged
- Is committed to "Allstream" Judaism - creating an inclusive, pluralistic, post-denominational space in the context of a variety of unique retreats, each with its own particular flavor of Jewish practice
