Jewish Business and Entreprenership Retreat Application

December 5-7, 2025 | Urban Adamah, Berkeley, CA

If you’re a Jewish founder, entrepreneur, or side hustler, you know how valuable it is to be in the right room with the right people. This December, join a small circle of Jewish business owners for a weekend of connection, reflection, and inspiration.

This is an intimate retreat that blends Jewish wisdom, peer-to-peer learning, and the chance to step back from your day-to-day grind to recharge.

This retreat is sponsored by Mem Global's Retreatology Grant.

What You’ll Walk Away With

A strong network of other Jewish entrepreneurs and business owners
Fresh ideas, insights, and problem-solving from peer-led conversations
Space to pause, reflect, and recharge, guided by the rhythm of Shabbat

Retreat Highlights

🌿 Shabbat Together — Enter the weekend with intention. Explore Shabbat themes of rest and balance as a business owner.
📖 Jewish Values in Business — Dive into discussions on how our values shape the way we lead our businesses.
💡 Mini-Symposium — Share your expertise in a short talk, workshop, or discussion, and learn directly from peers.
🤝 Community + Networking — Build authentic connections during unstructured time and throughout the retreat.

Who This Is For
