Register

On February 18-20, 2022 Shir Hadash’s 6th – 12th graders will once again enjoy a great weekend with youth from Shir Hadash, JRC in Evanston as well as Reconstructionist youth from all around the region including Michigan, Wisconsin, and Indiana. This year’s No’ar Hadash Midwest Youth Kallah (Retreat) will take place at Camp Nageelah in Ingleside, Il.

The kallah programming is created by teens for teens, and the staff is comprised of youth leaders, clergy, educators and other experienced adults. More than fifty teens attended last year’s kallah and we expect at least as many to join us this year for a weekend of fun, discovery, hanging out, playing, and engaging in Jewish activities. This is a great chance to get to know other Shir Hadash students as well as peers from around the region. All of the programming is created and implemented by a committee of student leaders including a number of our Shir Hadash madrichim.

The cost of the weekend is $250/child and includes housing, food, program costs, transportation and perhaps the most important part of the whole weekend, the custom illustrated hoodie sweatshirt. Scholarship money IS available to help offset the cost. Housing is in rooms of bunk beds. Teens and staff walk to the nearby dining hall for delicious meals that include vegetarian options.

Once you register through the ShulCloud form, we will send you the Packing List and any other necessary information for your child to attend Kallah.

We will leave from Shir Hadash by bus on Friday late afternoon (approximately 4 p.m.) and return to Shir Hadash on Sunday early afternoon (approximately 1 p.m.).
