Why do so many Jewish Holidays fall on the full moon? Before the invention of electricity, if you wanted to gather a large group together after dark, the light of the full moon led the way!

Join us as we reintroduce ourselves to the ancient Jewish wisdom surrounding the moon. We will learn about Jewish customs relating to the moon and recite Kiddush Levanah, the Jewish prayer for the moon.

Hiking by the full moon in Boulder, ColoradoDescription of Full Moon Hikes:
After brief introductions, we head off into the night in search of moon shadows and other glorious sights. In the winter, we marvel at the moonlight reflecting on the snow, lighting up the entire woods. In the spring and summer, we notice the shadows the moon casts of tree branches.

We hike at a moderate pace by Boulder standards for approximately 2 hours. As we hike up the trail, we have time to chat and get to know each other. On Adventure Rabbi hikes you will discover a group of fascinating and inspirational people, eager to meet new people and explore their Judaism in unique ways.

Occasionally during the hike, we take a break to catch our breath and admire the view. Rabbi Korngold will share some teachings.
