Interfaith
Spiritual Pilgrimage to Israel and Palestine
Our own
Rabbis, Nadya and Victor Gross, together with Imam
Jihad Turk and co-founder of Salaam Shalom Educational Foundation,
Shepha Schneirsohn Vainstein will be leading a moving and soulful
journey this Spring (March 21 - April 1, 2010) that will begin with
inspiring visits to communities of Jewish, Muslim, and Christian
families transforming polarized societies in Israel through the Waldorf
approach to education. With a spirit of Abrahamic unity and devotion we
will visit Jewish, Christian, and Muslim holy places in Israel and
Palestine. We will learn from respected teachers, pray with religious
leaders, participate in peacemaking circles, and meet with inspiring
activists who envision a world based on respect and cooperation. We
will celebrate an interfaith Passover Seder in Jerusalem filled with
storytelling and song. Our pilgrimage will conclude with a ceremony for
peace at Rabin Square. We welcome those exploring Israel for the first
time as well as experienced travelers.

Joseph reaches 60 and decides to see his doctor. "So what’s the matter
with you this time Joseph?" asks doctor Levine.
"I’m now 60, doctor, and I just don’t seem to be able to do all the
things around the house that I used to do."
"OK Joseph," says doctor Levine, "pop up on my examination table and
I’ll see what I can find."
When the examination is over, Joseph says, "OK doctor, don’t be scared,
I can take it. Just tell me in plain English - what’s wrong with me?"
"Do you really want to know, Joseph?" asks doctor Levine.
"Yes I do," replies Joseph.
"Well, in plain English," says doctor Levine, "you're just plain lazy."
"Okay," says Joseph, "now give me the medical term so that I can tell
my wife Sarah."
