KOACH Shabbat November 7-8, 2008

A Seal Upon Your Heart: Love and Romance in the Jewish Tradition

Registration - KOACH Shabbat with a KOACH Faculty member

What KOACH Will Do

We will send you a confirmation that we received your request to join us for KOACH Shabbat with a KOACH Faculty member in residence at your Hillel. In early fall we will contact you to obtain some additional information as we begin making matches between campuses and rabbinical students and other Jewish educators. KOACH will arrange and PAY FOR both the honorarium and major travel expenses of the KOACH Faculty member and work with your campus to make sure the weekend is a success for everyone.

What KOACH Expects from the Host Campus

In general, the host campus is expected to:

  • Plan programming for both Friday night and Saturday of the Shabbaton to reach out to the Conservative students on your campus. We know that many campuses do not regularly host Saturday services/programming and we will work with you to brainstorm ways to make your program successful. We want to maximize the value of the Faculty member's visit to your campus.
  • Provide appropriate accommodations within walking distance of the program site for Friday and Saturday nights - a local hotel or home hospitality with a faculty/staff member.
  • Provide kosher meals for the KOACH Faculty member during their stay.
  • Provide local transportation and other local expenses (photocopying etc).

What to Do Now

Just fill out the form below.

The KOACH Faculty is sponsored by the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism in conjunction with the Rabbinical School of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America and the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies.

We are aware that changes often happen and in the event something prevents the program from occurring on the planned date we will certainly work with you to rearrange or cancel the visit. Please be aware though, if you find you must cancel the visit within 3 weeks of the scheduled date we will ask you to cover both the stipend and any unrecoverable transportation expenses, as we will still need to cover these costs.
