A wilderness trip is a wonderful escape from the trials and tribulations of daily life, and a great way to have fun. It is a chance to travel to the unknown and unexpected, to test one's limits, to feel the wild and the real. For most people, this is more than enough. But there is also a spiritual opportunity anytime we journey into the natural world. Most people readily experience awe and wonder in nature but rarely pause to ask: where does awe come from and how can the wonder I feel in nature pervade all of my life? The beauty, the stillness and the immediacy of the wild afford a unique environ-ment to find God and deepen one's experience of the divine. Immersed in sacred wilderness, we discover the sacred in ourselves.

Fellow Jewish Wilderness Leaders
Rabbi Mike Comins: "I believe in the shefa (divine abundance or flow) theory of economics. The more each Jewish wilderness leader succeeds, the more we all succeed. And since nobody makes a fortune doing outdoor education, the only people in this "business" are those who know they can't live without it. If you can't find a TorahTrek adventure that suits you, and even if you can, check out my brothers and sisters in (spiritual) arms."
