One-of-A-Kind Jewish Themed Marriage Enrichment Weekend Retreat Gives Couples the Tools to Optimize Every Aspect of Their Homes
Thu Dec 6, 2007, New York

This January, Jewish young married couples will have an amazing opportunity to enhance, enrich, and invigorate their relationships at the first ever JPrisms Marriage Enrichment Weekend Retreat at the newly rebuilt Doubletree Hotel and Conference Center in Tarrytown, NY. This unique Jewish themed retreat will offer participants intensive skills-oriented workshops and lectures focused on communication, love, and other marriage related issues, alongside discussions about Jewish traditions and customs, and their meaning and value in a growing home.

The program is co-sponsored by PAIRS, one of the largest relationships training institutes in the United States. "We are very lucky to have the PAIRS team a part of this program," said JPrisms director Josh Kohl. "People travel around the country and pay a lot of money to be a part of their seminars and workshops. Now they can have the whole thing right here in the Northeast at a deluxe hotel, for a very affordable price." Thanks to a generous grant from several philanthropists, the retreat is offered for $299 per couple and only $99 for couples married less than 2 years. For those looking to come with their children, a professionally run summer-camp style youth program will be offered during all programs and activities.

Seminar topics will include The Logic of Love, Stress Styles of Communication, Who's Responsible for My Happiness, and From Hollywood to a Holy Home with Actress and Jewish Activist Mayim Bialik. The program will be supplemented by a comfortable, user-friendly Shabbat environment, social and team-building activities, and ample time for the couples to relax, unwind, and connect.
