REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
NEW THIS YEAR: Immersive Wednesday!
We are supremely delighted to continue preparing for another in-person OHALAH Conference and Annual Meeting! As you prepare your workshop proposals, please make note of our theme this year:
Shalshelet haKabbalah: A Lineage of Innovation
שלשלת הקבלה
Jewish Renewal is a laboratory of evolution and development. We come to OHALAH for many reasons and we arrive through many long, intersecting paths. Drawing on the inheritance that links us to our past, we collectively imagine the future of Jewish Renewal.
What link will you bring? How do we move from what was to what will be?
NEW! IMMERSIVE WEDNESDAY: We'll gather to learn in our usual conference workshop format on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday*, we’re changing our format and looking for 3 immersive proposals that might include: time for extended text study, a trip to the mountains or local hot springs, or other movement or embodiment proposals for learning that envelop us in a transformational experience. What might you offer? *Note that breakfast will be served Wednesday morning; lunch will be on your own. There will be Wednesday morning davenning.
As always, preference will be given to workshop proposals which make clear how they are relevant to the theme.
Proposals are due by Friday, June 30th. Please add this deadline to your calendars!
We always want to say “Yes!” to proposals, but we will need to ensure the number of accepted proposals fits the container of an in-person conference. So please make sure to submit your proposals on time, to help us include as many wonderful workshops as we can within the limits of in-person conference time and space!
Please note that “workshops” are sessions held concurrently, meaning conference attendees will choose between different available workshop options during one time slot. Workshop slots will be 90-minutes maximum. (Please let us know in the "special needs regarding the timing" box in the form if you know your workshop will be less than 90 minutes to help us streamline the conference!)
Please also note that the form linked above to submit workshop proposals is the SAME form you can use to submit other types of conference proposals – such as special meetings during meals, new book talk or new CD release, and our new Immersive Wednesday.
With love from your 2024 OHALAH Planning Committee,
Rabbi Elizabeth Goldstein, Chair
Rabbi Laurie Franklin
Hazzan Leah Frey-Rabine
Rabbinic Pastor Cantor Lisa Levine
