Pearlstone Center

Jewish retreats, and other mission-driven conferences, workshops, meetings, and courses: our goal is to provide an affordable, warm, and welcoming environment for non-profit jewish, faith-based, and secular organizations in order to help them accomplish their educational, religious and/or community-building goals. There is a fee for our service. We provide meals, lodging, meeting space and materials and programming help. Prior to covid, we served over 20,000 guests a year. Once past the lingering impact of covid, we are poised to significantly increase the guests we are able to welcome onto our campus each year. We are open 365 days a year.

Passover: each year we hold a special passover program that runs for 10 days. Many of our guests are elderly and can no longer do all the cooking and cleaning the holiday requires. We provide the religious service, the sedars, many classes and family programming. Although passover didn't occur during the period reported, the organization still planned this event throughout the year to help further its mission.

The farm: judaism has its roots in an ancient agrarian society and many of the values and holidays evolved from that foundation. The farm is an invaluable teaching tool to demonstrate the connections between judaism and the environment, social and food justice, and calendar-related festivals. Children and students of all ages come to the farm to learn how to be responsible stewards of the earth and how the way they conduct their daily lives impacts our planet. We have approximately 6,000 visitors to the farm each year.
