Convention Updates

GENERAL INFORMATION
  1. Please check this website often for updates on the convention: we will be posting all updates here as we have them available. All of the convention registration links will be on the RRA website as well. We are asking that you register online unless it is necessary for you to submit a hard copy of the registration form for administrative reasons. You can also access the on-line registration through the Ayelet Home Page. If you need an extra copy of the registration form please download it from the website.

  2. Please contact our Convention Coordinator Michael Ross at the RRA office 215 576 5210 x 239 or email convention@therra.org with convention-related questions.

  3. Registration, Hotel, Meal Plan: Please contact D’vora Greenberg at Ayelet Tours (800) 237-1517 x 338 dvora@ayelet.com with hotel registration questions.

  4. Please bring your own copy of Kol Haneshamah: Limot Hol siddur. We will only have a few extra copies available on site. Also, remember your talit and/or tefillin.

  5. FOR THE MONDAY DAY OF SERVICE THROUGH “BEACON OF HOPE”: [see http://www.lakewoodbeacon.org] PLEASE BRING “WORK CLOTHES” INCLUDING SHOES WITH SOLID/FIRM TOE CAP. NOT SNEAKERS. NOT SANDALS.

  6. The minhag for when the Tuesday night dinner has been the President’s Dinner was that dress is somewhat less casual/more formal. As this year we have a President’s Reception rather than a dinner, we don’t know what the minhag will be…. In any event, because this is minhag and not din, this is only aytza tova.

  7. Please note there is no convention lunch for Thursday.

  8. If you want to bring materials for materials for distribution or sale we will have a space available for display. Please note that anything not picked up by the end of the convention has to be taken back with you or it gets thrown away. As a general guideline, we average 80-100 people at a convention if you’re counting copies. To help us have the right amount of table space available, please send Michael Ross an email at convention@therra.org letting him know what you are bringing (e.g., CDs for sale, copies of a newsletter, brochures, etc.)

  9. We like to welcome new rabbis as well as those attending convention for the first time (sometimes that's the same people) at the opening dinner on Sunday, so if you're in either of those categories please try to arrive in time for the opening dinner.

  10. Rabbi Micah Becker-Klein is serving as our convention mashgiakh for ingredients. We do not use kosher kelim.

    The registration form has a space for indicating special food needs and/or concerns and/or allergies.

    If you have kashrut concerns please let Michael Ross (convention@therra.org) know as soon as possible.
