Jewish Heritage
Tour of
Mysical
Morocco
• • • •
A Great
Idea for a Summer Vacation!
Once again Jewish Heritage Tours will be sponsoring
an exciting and unforgettable all-inclusive excursion, both this winter and next summer. This year, we have chosen the very warm climate of Mystical
Morocco!
The rich Jewish heritage in Morocco will be explored and studied
during the trip. Once again, a leading Talmid Chacham and
scholar will accompany
the tour:Rabbi Dr. Nosson Dovid Rabinowich, Professor of
Medieval Jewish History, and noted author and lecturer.
Morocco was
home to many great Rabbis and Kabbalists including R’Yitzchak AI-Fasi (Rif)
(1013-1088), the Rambam (1160-1165),
R’Joseph Gikatila and the Ohr Ha’Chaim Ha’Kadosh (1698-1742).
Their works and contributions will be discussed in-depth. In addition,
many of the gravesites of the most important Tzaddikim in
Morocco including, of course, the great miracle worker, Rebbi Amram
ibn Diwanne near Quezzanne, will be visited and their contribution
to Jewish life in Morocco discussed.
The personable and knowledgeable local tour guides will help the
group appreciate this land of contrasts, known for its magnificent
Imperial Cities, palaces, mosques, exquisite gardens, colorful markets,
white sandy beaches, rich culture and history, archeological wonders
and hospitable people. Rabat, Fez, Meknes, Vollubilis, Marrakech,
Azamour, Rabat, Sali are the major cities to be visited on this trip.
The first Shabbat of well-deserved rest and study will be spent in Marrakech, the home of a warm wonderful Jewish community. The Chief Rabbi of Morocco, Rabbi Moshe Gabbai, will address the tour at the Friday night Seudah. Rabbi Dr. Rabinowich will deliver a major Drasha in Hebrew on Shabbat afternoon at the Slat La’azama Synagogue in the mellah, perhaps second only to the Altneu Schul in Prague as the oldest existing synagogue in the world that has never ceased to function.
As with all Jewish Heritage tours, three Glatt Kosher
meals will be served daily. All hotels are five- or four-star deluxe,
land travel includes ultra-modern air-conditioned buses and all
air travel will be handled by the excellent and reliable Royal Air
Morocco. Direct
flying time to Morocco from New York is under six hours. It's hard
to imagine that such an exotic, mystical and exciting country could ever be
so close!
The tour’s sponsors noted that special discounts are available for schools that will be sending at least three students and one set of parents on this once-in-a-lifetime Jewish Heritage Tour.
In addition to the mixed clientele these tours always attract, many
groups of singles have already registered for this tour. Rabbi Dr.
Rabinowich remarked that the warm, friendly, and yet stimulating
atmosphere of this particular tour makes for an ideal way to make
new acquaintances, especially for intelligent and educated singles.
Space on the tour is, unfortunately, very limited and reservations
should be made promptly! First come, first served! Please call 1-888-253-9167(toll-free),
