Spring, Summer and Fall, on the second
Saturday of the month, we meet for a hike and a short Shabbat service.

 After
brief introductions, we hike at a moderate pace for approximately
an hour. 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 often adds a natural history
lesson, a reading from Jewish text, or commentary on the theology
of ecology (how to experience God's presence in the wilderness).
Halfway through the hike, we pause for a half-hour service. The
service is filled with familiar prayers and songs, accompanied by
nature readings from Jewish tradition.
Rabbi Korngold often shares a teaching from the weekly Torah portion
and discusses the power of observing Shabbat, the day of rest, outdoors.
 Toward
the end of the service, we take a few moments of quiet introspection.
It is a chance for each of us to contemplate the sounds, smells
and sights of the wilderness around us.
After a bit of chocolate, we return an hour hike down the trail,
always arriving at or before our posted ending time.
