Lodging

This year we are offering two choices for housing at the conference - hotel or home hospitality.

Hotel - The conference has a block of rooms at the Aloft Lexington, located at 727 Marrett Road - A, Lexington, Massachusetts 02421. The hotel is a 3 mile walk to the conference site at Temple Emunah. We'll have shuttle buses and UBER taxis available for motorized transportation.

The Aloft Lexington is a beautiful boutique hotel with free wi-fi, lap pool, exercise room, and bar. Our room block has both Kings and Double Queens. Rates are $159 for single and $169 for doubles before taxes of 11.7%. These rates are available until May 5. Make reservations here or by calling 781-761-1700 and asking for the Kavod room block.

Home Hospitality - Numerous Temple Emunah congregants are offering home hospitality for conference attendees. In many cases, this will include transportation to and from the conference. If you are interested in this option, contact Lois Bruss - lois.bruss@gmail.com
