Why This Blog?

Rabbi Larry Hoffman teaches that Jewish spirituality is a journey: our historical experience of exile and return, exile and return.

We are preparing to return.

Although most of the participants on our trip have lived our entire lives in the Diaspora, in a few weeks we will be home -- many of us for the first time. We are writing this blog because we want to share our pilgrimage with you and because we want to record it for ourselves, so that even after we are physically back in the States, we can return spiritually again and again.
