Retreats are an important and super fun component of the Midrasha program.  There are four Midrasha campuses: Oakland, Berkeley, Contra Costa and Tri Valley-Tri City, which are all learning the same themes in their core curriculum, and three times a year we get the students from all four campuses together for an exciting weekend of Jewish friends and fun!   In the 8th and 9th grade programs the retreats are a part of the core class experience, and for the 10th-12th grade students the retreats are an optional addition to their core class.  Our retreats are run in partnership with the Center for Jewish Living and Learning at The Jewish Federation of the East Bay.

Important Note about Retreats: All students have choices to make about their retreat program. You can choose how many retreats you want  to sign up for and which retreats those are.  All three of our retreats will be at Camp Newman this year.  The fall retreat is for 9th-12th graders with an special separate retreat program on that Sunday for 8th graders, and the Winter and Spring retreats are for everyone, 8th-12th grades.  You indicate your choice on the registration form by checking the programs you are choosing.  Checking that program commits you financially to that retreat option, so please think carefully about your choice before sending in your form, and please mark your calendars for the option you’ve chosen!
