KOACH Kallah 2010

Pearlstone Conference and Retreat Center
March 4-March 7, 2010

KOACH, the college program of The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, invites you to the Twentieth Annual KOACH Kallah, March 4-March 7, 2010 at the Pearlstone Conference and Retreat Center in Reisterstown, MD.

Students from campuses throughout North America will come together for a weekend of learning, sharing and friendship. Rabbi Leonard Gordon of the Germantown Jewish Centre and co-chair of the USCJ Commission on Social Justice and Public Policy, will be our scholar-in-residence on the theme of Setting the Agenda: Jews and Public Policy. Community service projects, an update on Israel and a phenomenal Shabbat will round out the program. There will be time to meet in small groups and network with students from across the continent.
