Jewish tradition and memory are filled with stories of those who have journeyed to and from the Land of Israel, by choice and not by choice. Many of us are on our own journeys to or from or within the Land. What inspiration, insights or questions can we draw from the Jewish tradition to our own physical and spiritual journeys? What did the concepts of “home”, “land” and “homeland” mean to our spiritual ancestors and what do they mean to us? Join us as we journey together with fellow wandering Jews: Abraham, Joseph, Ruth, Leah Goldberg and others.
