Reset & Refresh
A multi-part learning experience, Reset & Refresh (R&R) offers participating couples a welcoming, reflective space for self-discovery, rejuvenation, and connecting with each other to explore Jewish life together. Learn why we gather. Explore how new Jewish families build Jewish lives. Delve into the meaning of Shabbat. Enjoy artisanal challah baking. Reset & Refresh provides couples with those and more exciting experiences to guide their own Jewish journeys.
The Themes We Explore
The Themes We Explore
R&R uses Shabbat as a compass for participating couples to guide their Jewish journeys while deepening their relationship. Each session builds on the next, preparing couples for the culminating experience, where they practice Shabbat in their own way.
Who is Eligible?

R&R is designed for couples ages 28-45 who share a mixed heritage, which includes a Jewish identity. Being mixed heritage includes a myriad of combinations that cross religions, denominations, spiritual practice, race, ethnicity, and backgrounds. Participating couples might include two people who identify as Jewish and have varied Jewish lived experiences and a couple where one member identifies with another religion or is an agnostic, along with many other variations.

Where is the program located?
Where is the program located?
We have partnered with four Seattle-area organizations—Jewish Day School, Seattle Jewish Community School, Temple B’Nai Torah, and Temple De Hirsch Sinai—to create cohorts of couples who can learn, grow, and connect with one another. Most sessions will be held at one of these host organizations, with a few gatherings taking place in homes or special venues. You are welcome to join any cohort, regardless of your affiliation with the host institution.
Each session begins with time to connect over drinks and dinner—creating a meaningful transition from the workday into Reset & Refresh, and allowing for informal relationship building. After dinner, we move into an experiential workshop focused on that evening’s theme.

Reset & Refresh is offered free of charge to community members, made possible through grants from the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, along with generous support from our local partner organizations: Jewish Day School, Seattle Jewish Community School, Temple B’Nai Torah, and Temple De Hirsch Sinai.
We are grateful for their partnership in making this meaningful experience accessible to all.
