Fran Starr who went on Marcia and Jack's last trip: Seven years ago I went on a trip to Israel with Marcia Prager and Jack Kessler. It was amazing. It filled my head and heart with experiences I still treasure. We had such fun and every moment was precious. I thought to myself that it was a once in a lifetime opportunity, but here we are blessed with another chance. Forget about the time or the money and go. You owe it to yourself! You'll return with the sweetest memories. Reb Marcia and Jack have so much to give. This will be an opportunity to truly grow spiritually. Contact Tlalim directly at: info@tlalimtours.com with any questions about flights, extending hotel stays in Israel. Make sure you identify yourself as inquiring about the ALEPH trip. Rabbis Victor and Nadya strongly urge folks to consider this amazing opportunity to see Israel through the spiritual lens that is Rabbi Marcia Prager's and Hazzan Jack Kessler's special gift. Passover in IsraelHave you been yearning for an experience of Israel that speaks to your body, heart, mind and soul? Have you been longing to participate in a community of travelers who are open to an honest encounter with the timeless teachings of a living Torah? Have you been planning on going to Israel when the time is right, but haven't yet found it? The time is now! Sunday, March 25 Thursday April 5 Join Rabbi Marcia Prager and Hazan Jack Kessler for this masterfully guided adventure in the Eretz Yisrael. Follow Nachshon Da-vid Mahanymi, an Israeli-American peace activist and teacher, to places off the beaten path that tell the less known stories of Israel past, present and future. Take a spiritual peace pilgrimage and study and celebrate with some of the foremost peacemakers in the world. Experience the seder like you've never experienced it before. Learn with some of the finest Jewish Renewal teachers in Israel. Those exploring Israel for the first time will experience the country deeply and meaningfully. This is not a typical frantic-paced tourist experience rushing through sights seen and cities visited. Our group will travel gently with time for prayer, celebration, meditation, learning and sharing. Together we will grow an enduring spiritual connection to the land and to the inner meaning of Passover as a time for liberation into new possibilities. We will meet with Israeli and Palestinian grassroots peace builders, artists, musicians and teachers, as we cultivate hope, and nourish relationships through joyful prayer, dialogue and reflection. Join us to an extraordinary spiritual pilgrimage of heart and soul. We will visit the landscapes where our ancestors lived, studied, dreamt and wrestled. We will experience the heat of the Judean desert, the depth of the Dead Sea, the refreshing waters of Ein-Gedi oasis. We will go up to the spiritual heights of Tzfat in the heart of the Galilee Mountains, enjoy the cool breeze of the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret) and the hot springs along the Jordon Valley. Our Aliyah la'regel (pilgrimage) will culminate in 6 extraordinary days in Jerusalem including the Passover Seder.
