Join Rabbi Korngold on a beautiful hike on the Waterfall Trail. We'll meander in and out of the gorgeous golden aspen and majestic ponderosa pines, as we make our way along the creek.

Along the way we will stop for various "Adventure Rabbi" style learning stops where we learn about nature from a Jewish perspective and Judaism through the lens of nature.

This will be a moderate 2-mile hike , with very little elevation change (400' up and 400' back down), but we are at altitude. Please wear good hiking boots/ shoes, and bring water, rain gear and a snack.

Please note that we will be driving from the lodge to the trail head. No size limit.

Catherine Greener returns to our Rosh Hashanah retreat to once again lead our afternoon Connective Yoga session. You won't want to miss Catherine's unique version of yoga, combining Judaism and yoga. Beginners welcome.

Program Description:
This hatha-based yoga session is for all ages and all levels of yoga. We will practice together and prepare for the new year, joining the breath and yoga postures to assist our retreat experiences. This session will include guided meditation, yoga postures and extended relaxation at the conclusion of the practice. Weather permitting, there may be an opportunity to integrate the outdoors into the session. Please wear comfortable clothes, and bring your own mat (not necessary if you don't own one!) All levels welcome.

This session is 75 minutes. Bernice Lewis will be performing a 45 minute concert after yoga ends.

Dr. Noah Finkelstein is a Professor of Physics Education Research in the Department of Physics at the University of Colorado, Boulder and a frequent participant on Adventure Rabbi trips. Noah currently serves as the President of the Adventure Rabbi Leadership Council. Noah is known for welcoming everyone's viewpoint, so please come prepared to share your unique ideas.

Program Description:
Why would it be that so many great scientists are Jews? Despite recent efforts to polarize our society into "religious" or "scientific" camps, these forms of understanding the world- science and religion- may be viewed as strong complements of one another. In fact, they offer many overlapping views of the way the world is and how it works. We examine what it means to engage in scientific or religious inquiry, explore the challenges of a world that truly excludes science or religion, and ground the broader questions with with specific examples such as: the creation story, miracles, visions of nature, or topics of your own selection.

Mind Adventures will include an easy walk and an engaging discussion. Please dress comfortably for walking/ strolling and bring an open mind and appetite for inquiry.

Join us for some teachings, stories, singing, praying and most importantly running, in order to really put our whole self into this New Year. All running levels, all paces, are welcome. This is not a race; it is running meditation practice, however it will be more rigorous than Rabbi Korngold's hike. Not recommended for people coming from sea level unless you are used to running at altitude.

Deb Dusansky has been in Jewish education for over 20 years and has been running the mountains around Boulder for almost that long. Deb has directed Jewish Renewal and Conservative religious schools. She currently directs Stepping Stones of Boulder. Praying and running in the mountains is the highest Torah.
