Please note that currently there is no working “flushing” restroom on site, however we offer an old fashioned private bucket system.
Friday ‘Fruitluck’ Shabbat Service
Traditionally, Shabbat begins just after sundown. However, our service generally begins at 7:30 PM summer or winter in order to accommodate people’s ability to commute to and from our site after rush hour traffic and so that if traveling home, you won’t get home too late.
All Shabbat attendees are welcome to camp overnight at the land.
You are also welcome to come early to the land on day of service to commune with nature. This is the formal order of service, however, we may be casual in our approach to a gathering as it serves those in attendance.

The Lord bless you and keep you. Make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you.
The Lord turn His face toward you, And give you peace.
Amen
May His favor be upon you And a thousand generations,
And your family and your children And their children, and their children.
May Her favor be upon you And a thousand generations,
And your family and your children And their children, and their children.
May Their presence go before you. And behind you and beside you,
All around you and within you. He is with you. She is with you.
In the morning, in the evening. In your coming and your going,
In your weeping and rejoicing. He is for you. She is for you.
