Shalom Institute

As the leading experiential Jewish education and retreat center in Southern California, we are proud to welcome everyone into our Big Jewish Tent. Our programs serve youth and adults representing diverse walks of Jewish life: from secular to orthodox, from LGBT to interfaith families, and from Russian, Persian and Israeli American communities to adults and children with disabilities. A premier center for experiential Jewish education and Jewish overnight camping, we serve more than 25,000 people year-round. We are nationally known for our programmatic excellence, community partnerships and for being a “green” leader in eco-friendly practices.
