Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

Check with the group before you show up. You need to sign up first.
What to expect
A MenschGroup is a confidential online group for personal sharing that meets about twice a month for 90 minutes. Members listen without giving advice or feedback, and the facilitator may open with a prompt tied to the weekly Torah portion. The retreat in Falls Village, Connecticut starts around 4:30 pm on a Friday and ends by 2 pm on Sunday, with prayer services and small groups of 5 to 8 men that meet three times.
Tips for your first visit
- The Fall 2026 MenschGroup period runs July 1 to December 31, 2026, and the site says new groups are forming now.
- Retreat roommates are assigned unless you name one, and a single room costs extra only when one is open.
- Wassaic station on the Metro-North Harlem line is about a 30 minute taxi ride from the retreat center.
- The fellowship for men aged 18 to 35 attending their first or second retreat has its own application page.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: Joining a MenschGroup costs $150 for six months before you meet the group, and the retreat asks for a deposit, so a paid step comes first..
