Chagigah means celebrations and is a brand-new joint regional conference for all Liberal and Reform communities in the South West, it’s a chance for members to meet for a weekend of relaxation, learning, prayer and fun in a lovely hotel in Exeter. A

Everyone comes for different reasons – to be spiritually recharged, to enjoy a Shabbat away from everyday routine, to make new friends and/or to be delighted that their children are being looked after and Jewishly engaged.

South West Chagigah is all about what YOU want. Whether it’s to be up at the crack of dawn tackling Talmud, having a good sing in a Shabbat service or enjoying a lie-in and joining for lunch, it’s completely up to you.

The practical info… 

The price includes 2 nights accommodation, all meals from Friday dinner through to Sunday lunch, morning and afternoon snacks and coffee as well all programming. The only addition would be if you choose to buy drinks from the bar.

There are a range of bedrooms – singles, twins and family rooms. To ensure we are maximising space, and everyone who wants to come can, we are offering a discounted rate for those who choose to share a room. So, whether you’re a couple, or a couple of friends, we have you covered!

Children…

LJY-Netzer will be running a full weekend of activities for children aged 5+. However, if you prefer your child to remain with you and join in with sessions that is absolutely fine. Or you can do a mixture of the two. This is your weekend to enjoy however is best for you and your family.

We will organise a crèche for those under 5 if the demand is there (we will need at least five children booked in to make it work). Unfortunately our insurance will not allow us to organise an evening babysitting service.

Please note that your children are your responsibility at all times, unless signed into an LJY session.
