M54 is inviting applications for its M54 Shluchim Edition Cohort 5.
The cohort (limited to 10 participants) meets weekly for 12 Zoom sessions (90 minutes each) and gathers for a 3-4 day in-person retreat. Cohort 5 begins the week of 28 Tishrei (October 20) and concludes the week of 14 Shevat (February 1). The retreat will be held in the NY or South Florida area.
Participants receive a comprehensive handbook that guides them through the entire program. By the conclusion of the program, participants will have a clear understanding of the process and practice of Avoda Pnimis.
Program Investment: $1,700 (includes retreat; airfare not included). If this amount is prohibitive, please let us know in your application.
Couple Participation: Recognizing that Chabad Houses are run by couples, we recommend that both Shliach and Shlucha participate in the M54 Shlichus Cohort to develop a shared language of reflection and growth. Each participant in a couple receives a $200 discount. For the Shluchos Cohort application please visit here.
Next Steps: After receiving your application, we'll schedule a Zoom conversation to get to know one another and determine if this experience is a good fit.
Warmly,
Peretz Chein and the M54 Team
