A Family Trek to Lamplight
We will set out on a unique adventure and a different experience in the evenings of the Hanukkah holiday. We will trek through the forest in the dark by lamplight. We will feel and learn about the forest nightlife (is it awake or does it sleep), we will hear stories of valor, become excited by legends and fascinating campfire stories, which will accompany us along the route. We will hear about the forest, its development and the importance of maintaining a clean forest.
We will be exposed to nocturnal animals, become excited by the sounds and sights of the forest in darkness. We will light Hanukkah candles and finish with hot and tasty herbal tea!
