SUMMARY:Pass/Age Weekend Retreat: Online Information Session
DESCRIPTION:Pass/Age Retreat:\nOnline Info Session\nTuesday\, January 13\, 2026\n6pm ET  | Online*\nHave you heard about Pass/Age\, our re-imagined rite of passage weekend retreat for folks in their 40s and 50s (ish!) and need to know more? Join us for an info session hosted by Lab/Shul’s ritual team member Ben Freeman and Rhona Silverbush\, longtime Lab/Shul Partner\, author and educator. \nPass/Age is Lab/Shul’s re-imagined rite of passage program for Jewish adults seeking to make more meaning in their lives — perhaps those looking to reinvestigate and reinvigorate an existing Jewish practice or those looking to make sense of a milestone or shift currently underway in their lives by calling on Jewish wisdom. Over the course of an immersive experiential weekend in a cohort of other adults\, using the Passover story as a frame for our learning\, participants will engage deeply with our inherited legacy of texts and traditions\, explore personal paths of meaning-making\, and co-create a communal ritual utilizing Lab/Shul’s signature Storahtelling methodology. \nNot able to attend this info session but have questions about the retreat? Reach out to Ben at ben@labshul.org. \n*Zoom link provided upon registration. \nREGISTER for Pass/Age Info Session >\nPass/Age Weekend Retreat Registration >> COMING SOON!
