A Pilgrimage to Israel

Join Rabbis Aura and Arnie for an in-depth, 15-day pilgrimage to Israel, including an excursion to Petra, Jordan. This pilgrimage will cover the breadth and depth of the Holy Land, sacred to the three great monotheistic religions of the world. We will experience holy sites of all three faith traditions, learn the multi-faceted narratives of all people who call Israel home, and immerse ourselves physically, spiritually and emotionally in the mountains, valleys and seas of this remarkable place on earth.
