About Our Community:
The Adventure Rabbi Program (AR) is a new type
of Jewish congregation, striving to make Judaism relevant,
meaningful, and accessible for the 21st century. Our community
centers around our retreat program. People of all ages,
singles, couples, and families, come from all over the country
(but especially Colorado) for our Rosh
Hashanah, Yom
Kippur and Passover
retreats to learn, celebrate and create a new kind of Jewish
community.
In between retreats, Rabbi Jamie Korngold leads AR events
in Boulder Colorado and Rabbi Evon Yakar leads AR events
in South Lake Tahoe, California. We are thrilled to have
expanded so that we now have two bases for our alternative
approach to Judaism, one in Boulder Colorado and the other
in South Lake Tahoe California. We gather for Shabbat, holidays,
hikes, skiing, and learning.
Rabbi Jamie Korngold is a best-selling author and travels
to Jewish communities around the country teaching at congregations,
colleges, camps, and JCCs. She trains clergy and counselors
in her innovative approach to Judaism combining nature and
the ancient wisdom of Jewish tradition. .
We are especially proud
of our innovative Bar
and Bat Mitzvah programs. Our students hail from all
over the world and study with us by Skype. Our Colorado
based students are able to participate in a monthly Adventure
Class where they climb peaks and snowshoe alongside their
Hebrew studies. From Destination
Bar & Bat Mitzvah ceremonies to Bar/Bat
Yisrael ceremonies, which have no Hebrew, we have something
for almost every Bar /
Bat Mitzvah candidate.
In general, we are a "pay
as you go" community, but we do rely heavily on membership
(inexpensive!) donations
and grants in order to sustain our community. Read more

Rabbi blog.
