Moonlit hike in Israel's desert highlights spiritual connection to lunar cycles
Although the night of the full moon is ideal for this adventure (usually, the 15th of the Hebrew month), a nearly full moon works almost as well.
FOR THE ANCIENT Israelites, the sanctification of the new moon turned an otherwise dark day into a day of hope for the month and the light and blessing that could come along with it.(photo credit: SUSANNAH CHILD)
