Join OHALAH on a Virtual Pilgrimage to the ancient and interior wells of our deep wisdom. We have much to mourn and much to heal this year as we cross thresholds into ever new paradigms. Amidst cultural division, racial upheaval, and a rapidly shifting climate, let's find balance and right action together, along with new ways of praying, celebrating, and engaging our communities.
The conference open to all rabbis, cantors and rabbinic pastors, as well as students of these professions. Membership in OHALAH is not required to register.

Our 2020 conference took place in January 2020. The theme was “Lizkor et Ha Brit - To Remember the Covenant: Inspiring Hope and Vision."
“I will remember my covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature (Genesis 9:15).” “And Elohim heard their cry and remembered the covenant with Avraham, Yitzhak and Ya’akov (Exodus 2:24).” Just as cries of the Hebrew slaves stirred the memory of G!d’s covenant with our ancestors, how shall we live into the Covenant that followed the Great Flood in this time of turmoil and critical environmental distress? How do we understand our covenantal relationship with the Earth and all her creatures, with all people around the planet, and with the G!d Stream, the Shefa, that flows through each of us? How can we activate our 2020 vision to penetrate a paralyzing darkness and reveal the light of hopeful action? Together we will explore our covenantal relationships, our dreams, and our call to serve.
