TRIP# 10COM613
SINAI WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE
15 Nisan - 15 Nisan
Breathtaking wilderness vistas, profound religious
experiences, as well as hunger, thirst, and hostile locals will all
be in abundance during this 40-year adventure on foot through the
famous Sinai Peninsula. Pack animals will carry our loads as we rush
away from the overcrowded megalopolis of Lower Egypt on our journey
to the land of Canaan. As we leave Egypt we will experience an
exciting crossing of the Sea of Reeds and have a serious discussion
of wetland preservation issues with local environmental activists.
During our trek, we will receive important teachings, learn how to
find water in the desert and how to purify unpotable springs. For
artisans in the group, we will construct the world's first fully
portable, backpackable, ecologically sensitive religious shrine as a
group project. Nutritious food will be airlifted in daily, further
reducing the loads on our pack animals. Dietary Laws and Sabbath
VERY strictly observed. You don't have to be Jewish when you start
out, but you will be at the end!
Trip Leader: Moses Rabbenu
Price: The Egyptians are paying us to leave.
Deposit: Please slaughter a lamb without blemish and daub some of
its blood on the doorpost of your house. The trip leader will be in
contact with you on the night of 14 Nisan. Please be ready to leave
immediately.
If approved by the trip leader, you or your descendants will be able
to participate in companion trip JOSH12TRI, "Canaanite Conquest
Caravan"
