Jews in Canoes

Jews in Canoes

Saturday starting at 1:30 PM
Meet at Graehl Park (212 Front St, Fairbanks, AK 99701)

Join Congregation Or HaTzafon for our annual Jews in Canoes adventure on the Chena River. We will put in at Graehl Park at 1:30 PM and enjoy a leisurely float downriver to Pioneer Park/Alaskaland.

After arriving at Alaskaland/Pioneer Park, we will gather at the Moose Creek Pavilion for a picnic and enjoy all the park has to offer. We anticipate arriving around 4:00 PM and will begin with a picnic.  Shabbat services will follow thereafter, probably around 5:30 PM.

Community members, visitors, and those curious to learn more are welcome to join us for this unique combination of outdoor recreation, Jewish community, and Shabbat celebration.

Please bring appropriate clothing for the weather, water, snacks, and picnic supplies. Additional details regarding canoes, transportation, and logistics will be provided closer to the event.
