The retreat
Four days away from the life you built.
You have been carrying it alone for a long time. The work, the family, the standard you hold yourself to, and whatever it is you have never said to anyone. For four days you put it down in a room of Jewish men doing the same, and you find out what is underneath.

What is included
The practical details.
- Lodging
- Lodging is included, either inside the home or in a well appointed 20 foot bell tent. All accommodations are shared with other men.
- Food
- All meals, snacks, and drinks are included. The food is generous, thoughtfully prepared, and served with the same care given to the rest of the experience. Every meal is kosher under the supervision of our chef and mashgiach, Mendy Baruch. We can accommodate most dietary needs and allergies when you tell us in advance.
- Travel
- For those flying, Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport and Miami International Airport are both convenient options. Before the retreat, we create a WhatsApp group so attendees can coordinate and, when possible, share transportation.
- Individual considerations
- You are asked to be in the room for everything. You are never required to do anything. Medical, physical, and other considerations are reviewed with you individually.
The process
How joining Ahdama works.
The room is intentional.
We read every application ourselves to make sure each man is a fit for the work and the group. No one attends simply by reserving a spot. The men beside you have been thoughtfully considered too.
