Anyone who lives in Northern New England should check out this awesome upcoming event! Colby College will be hosting The Maine Conference for Jewish Life from June 12-14, 2015 at the Waterville campus.

The 3-day conference will feature a wide variety of Jewish themed sessions and speakers. Participants can attend some or all of the conference and there is the option to stay overnight in the Colby dorms. The conference costs $45.00 a day ($120.00 for the entire conference). Housing on campus is an additional $30 a night, with children under 12 for free! Kosher food will be provided.

If you want to attend and can’t afford it, please inquire about scholarships. A lack of funds doesn’t have to prevent participation.

There is more info about the conference on their Facebook page and will also be featured in The Jewish Advocate.

I find this event so exciting! Outside of local temples, there isn’t much opportunity for Jewish communal life when you live north of Boston like I do. Provided my health is up to it, I’m planning to attend and would encourage anyone with the slightest interest to do the same.
