In a time when antisemitism is rising, and the world feels increasingly uncertain, how do we guard ourselves, our faith, and our communities — while still shining as a light for Hashem and Israel?
Join us for an immersive Young Adult Retreat focused on the powerful lessons of Nehemiah: leadership, courage, unity, and vigilance. Together, we will explore what it means to live out שמר (shamar) — to guard what Hashem has entrusted to us, spiritually and communally.
Regisration is now closed for this event.
Join friends from the NW region for a relaxing and enriching weekend. There is no charge for this event, though registration is required. If you would like to offset the costs you can do so by making a donation here.

Mark your calendars and save the date for the Union’s 2027 Winter Leadership Conference, open to all leaders and leadership teams of UMJC member and affiliate congregations (or groups).
We are excited to announce our upcoming UMJC Israel Tours in March 2027. There are two great options. There is the Israel Study and Mitzvah Tour led by Rabbi Barney Kasdan and Rabbi Rich Nichol. We are also offering our Israel Youth Adventure Tour led by Matt Absolon. Both tours offer a distinctive Messianic Jewish perspective on the land and our people and we will be making some personal connections with the Messianic Jewish Israeli community while we are there. Space is limited so sign up today for these wonderful opportunities by using the links below.
