Summit in Summit County
Climb a 13er with the Adventure Rabbi
(14ers are too crowded so we like 13ers)

July 19-20, 2008

Atlantic Peak in early June (still snow-covered)

Each summer we choose a peak to climb. Although we have not yet chosen our peak for 2008, we know the trip will be Saturday and Sunday and include:

  • Tough but not technical climbing
  • Vast and awesome views
  • Few other people (We leave the crowds of 14ers behind)
  • Spectacular wildflowers
  • Great company
  • Inspiring rabbinic teachings
  • A short Shabbat hike with Shabbat service on Saturday
    before Sunday's climb
  • Havdallah service
  • Knowledgeable guides
  • A rustic campground
  • Fabulous food prepared for you

In order to serve God, one needs access to the
enjoyment of the beauties of nature,

Such as the contemplation of flower-decorated
meadows, majestic mountains, flowing rivers….

For all these are essential to the spiritual
development of even the holiest of people.
