Get your body and spirit into Passover during this hike and learn led by GTU Professor Sam Shonkoff

Get your body and mind into the Passover spirit by joining us for a learning session at the intersection of sand and sea. Passover is a holiday that connects us to the elements. This hike and learning session will bring us into contact with the elements of desert and sea, as we learn about their literal and metaphorical representations throughout the story of Passover and Judaism as a whole. 

Please come with water, something to sit on (blanket or towel), appropriate shoes and ready for a moderate walk of about two miles.
