Profiles in Faith

Good afternoon! 

Today's blog features a profile piece out of Central Michigan University written by Ben Solis where one of their students, Hadley Platek recently experienced a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage to her Jewish homeland. In the piece she recounts her experience and how her journey became a reality when she decided to attend her University and joined Hillel, the Jewish student's cultural group on campus that focuses on culture. 

Solis writes, "Explorations of faith have been a cornerstone of her life, Platek said. When she was a child, her family celebrated many different religious holidays. As she grew older, the exposure to different ideas and values helped solidify her faith in Judaism." 

At Abrams Travel, we love reading stories about young people taking the initiative to explore deeper into their faith. To read the full article, please click HERE!

My Jewish Year

Good afternoon!

Today we're featuring "My Jewish Year", a new book written by Abigail Pogrebin that brings to light the 18 Jewish holidays and traditions that happen throughout the year. Daivd Gregory of the New York Times gives an in-depth review of the book, picking out key points for potential readers.

Gregory explains, "More substantively, Pogrebin brings both curiosity and candor to her search. During a fast on the first day of January, the 10th of Tevet, marking the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem by the Babylonians, she grabs hold of the larger point of skipping a meal: “Our tradition doesn’t care about whether you’re sated, but about what you do.” This is a day of sacrifice to focus the mind on helping others rather than satisfying ourselves. Pogrebin strives valiantly throughout the year, learning (she interviewed more than 60 rabbis and scholars) and breaking stereotypes of our tradition, as when she blesses a woman sitting next to her at a feminist Seder on Passover."

Take a look at the full review HERE and find out where you can pick up a copy for yourself.

This is a wonderful book to read before, during or after experiencing your faith through one of our pilgrimages to the Holy Land.
