adventures

I\’ve joined 14 adults on a daylong excursion in Malibu Creek State Park led by Rabbi Mike Comins, who runs Torah Trek, Spiritual Wilderness Adventures. Whether it\’s a one-day exercise for first-timers — like ours is — or a multiday meditative adventure, the idea is to spend time studying Torah, reading, thinking, meditating and seeking a \”God experience,\” as Comins calls it. We are now at the ultimate moment of the day, the portion called \”hitbodedut,\” which translates from the Hebrew as \”to be alone.\”
