About the Event
Avraham’s journey is mentioned every day in the morning services (pesukei d’zimra / zemirot). His journey, which takes him through the centers of civilization at the time, leads him to Egypt - and to a promise of an Exodus whose importance cannot be overstated.
This tour explores the common roots of Islam 🕌🕋 and Judaism's 🕍✡️ Monotheism - and the Abraham Accords.
The main focus is Avraham's physical journey from Ur, through Harran, Canaan and to Egypt, and its essential role in Jewish identity.
