Gather with Unapologetic Jewish and Zionist activists as well as leaders from across North America to our Reclaiming Jewish Strength Shabbaton from May 15-17, 2026, and the one-day seminar on Sunday, May 17th in Rockville, MD (address will be provided within 72 hours of registration). This will be a powerful weekend focused on ideological, educational, emotional, and physical strength, as well as hearing from our special guests Aaron Hadida ("Hate 2.0") on Friday evening, Jean Meltzer ("The Matzah Ball", "Kissing Kosher"), and Heidi Shertok ("Unorthodox Love", "Match Me If You Can"), both on Sunday afternoon.
Participants will explore what it means to stand proud, strong, and empowered as Jews today. There will be sessions on topics like "Tough Jews Live Longer", situational awareness, and moving beyond victimhood. There will also be time set aside for you to mingle with Herutniks and leaders from across North America and Israel.
The weekend welcomes young adults and adult Herut members, long-time members, and first-timers. All food served will be certified kosher, and the weekend will be Shabbat compatible.
