Since the Shabbaton program began in 2012, we have hosted weekend-long retreats created by and for LGBTQ+ Jewish youth all over the country. This fall, we are bringing that to Texas! We hope you can join us November 15-17! Our Shabbaton retreats are open to any LGBTQ+ & Ally Jewish teen in grades 7-12. You must be at least 13 to attend a Shabbaton.

Traditionally, a shabbaton is an extended weekend retreat –from Friday through Sunday– of education and celebration, held over Shabbat. Keshet strives for our retreats to be restful, celebratory, exciting, and joyful. We offer multiple options for prayer and celebration of Shabbat in a warm, accessible, and inviting environment. In order to create a welcoming experience for all participants, our group spaces are Shabbat-friendly.
