20 members of our synagogue Bible class enjoyed a sensational weekend in Israel’s desert. We stayed on Kibbutz Quetura named after the 3rd wife of Abraham, located on the ancient sea floor of the desert. The Red Sea and Dead Sea were one millions of years ago. We visited the biggest solar farm in Israel, the largest date palm groves and enjoyed Shabbat dinner with 400 kibbutzniks.  The Bible came alive in the Desert, as we studied Elijah. God had to take him to the desert so that he could discern “the still small voice”.
