Travel and Accomodation

What will the accommodations be like?

What will we be eating?

We will be eating delicious farm-to-table food prepared on-site at Pearlstone. Many of the herbs and vegetables are grown on site. Their kitchen is able to accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions, which you can share with us on your registration form. All food prepared at Pearlstone is OU Kosher. Because it is a kosher facility, you are not allowed to bring any outside food into the main building. You may have outside food in your lodging area as long as you keep it free from pests.

I’m will be driving to the Assembly. What do I need to know?

The address is 5425 Mt. Gilead Rd., Reisterstown, MD 21136. You can find detailed driving directions here. Parking is available on site. You can check in to your room at Pearlstone and begin exploring the grounds starting at 3 p.m on Friday the 27th. If you arrive at Pearlstone earlier than 3 p.m., you will be able to explore the grounds and common areas, but will not be able to check into your room. To ensure you are present for the beginning of the gathering, arrive no later than 5 p.m.

I will be flying. What do I need to know?

Arriving

We recommend that you fly into Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI), a large international airport that is serviced by all major airlines as well as several budget airlines. So that you can be present for the beginning of the gathering, book flights arriving to BWI no later than 4 pm. We will be providing transportation support for you to get from the airport to Pearlstone. You can check in to your room at Pearlstone as early as 3 p.m., making the ideal arrival at BWI between 1 and 4 p.m. If you arrive at Pearlstone earlier than 3 p.m., you will be able to explore the grounds and common areas, but will not be able to check into your room.

Departing

For those NOT attending Reimagining Interfaith: We will support you to get back to BWI airport after the conclusion of the Assembly on Sunday afternoon. The Assembly will conclude around 1 pm. Departing flights should not be booked before 4 pm.

For those ATTENDING Reimagining Interfaith: We will be supporting you to get from Pearlstone to George Washington University, where the event will be held. You will be responsible for getting yourself back to your departing airport. We suggest flying out of one of the following:

The most convenient option is Reagan National Airport (DCA), which is a 10 min. drive from George Washington University and can also be accessed by the DC metro system.

If you want to purchase a roundtrip ticket to fly in/out of BWI, you can easily get back to BWI airport from Reimagining Interfaith via the Marc commuter train. The train runs from Union Station in downtown Washington, DC to BWI over 30 times a day during the week, from 5:40 am to 11:40 pm. You can view the full timetable here.)

Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) is also near DC but is not as easily accessible via public transportation.
