2026 Grateful Dead Phish Shabbaton

The Great Grateful Dead & Phish Chanukah Shabbaton is upon us!!! Get
on the bus and let’s make a weekend of Jewish joy, music, and awesome
community energy as we gather in nature for a Shabbat Chanukah of deep
jams, sacred rest, cosmic play, mind-bending music, and soul-shine
connection.

Highlights include welcoming the Sabbath queen with soulful song,
prayer, niggunim, and your favorite melodies. We will light the fire
on the mountain and on our chanukkiot! We’ll explore Torah through the
jam-band lens, and jam bands through a Torah lens, with songwriting
circles, cosmic spiritual journeying, and text study with a groove.

Isabella Freedman Retreat Center in the Connecticut winter is a
special kind of magic, offering sacred stillness and a shomer Shabbat
atmosphere—just voices, hearts, and harmony. As Shabbat goes out,
we’ll light the fire, spin the glow, and dance into the night with
jamming, drumming, and movement that’ll remind you how much you enjoy
yourself.

Join us for an epic weekend where tradition meets improvisation, and
where Shabbos Channukah itself becomes the headliner. Invite your
Phriends!
