10. Consider a trip to Israel/Palestine. It’s a land both beautiful and troubled with histories and narratives we all need to understand better. Your life will be enriched by a trip. We’ll gladly consult, make recommendations for reliable tours and/or guides. Contact us to arrange a conversation. In recent years Seraj has Co-sponsored a trip led by one of our Board members, Dr. Paul Parker.
