Join
Rabbi Steve Booth-Nadav for a "Shabbat Bereshit"
contemplative hike in Evergreen, Colorado. On this Shabbat
the cycle of reading of the Torah begins anew with the creation
story. As we hike toward the Bergen Peak trail (in Elk Meadow
Park) we will reconnect our souls with creation in a very
physical way, and contemplate what it might mean for us individually
to be in a new beginning. We will sing some Shabbat songs
and have time for quiet contemplation in nature.
We
will meet @ 3pm on Oct. 17th at the Stagecoach Blvd. trail
head of Elk Meadow. Weather conditions, time, and the group
will determine how far we walk. We will leave the parking
lot by 3:10, and return around 5:30.
Clothing
layers and good shoes (preferably hiking boots) are a must.
The trail is a steady climb.
