  Rabbi Jamie Korngold will present this free slide show on two consecutive evenings:
Carbondale, Wednesday, Feb. 17
Dos Gringos Burritos, in the La Fontana Plaza on Highway 133. The presentation starts at 7 p.m., and food and drink can be purchased beforehand. Hosted by the Wilderness Workshop.
Aspen, Thursday, Feb. 18
Aspen Center for Environmental Studies (ACES), at 7:30 p.m. Free tea and cookies will be available beforehand. Hosted by WW and ACES. Rabbi Jamie Korngold – the Boulder-based Adventure Rabbi – will give two free presentations based on her book, God in the Wilderness: Rediscovering the Spirituality of the Great Outdoors.
An ultramarathon runner, skier and climber, Rabbi Korngold has turned her love of the outdoors into a vocation with the Adventure Rabbi Program. Rather than holding weekly Shabbat services in a physical synagogue, Adventure Rabbi offers hikes and ski outings with an emphasis on finding spiritual fulfillment in nature.
In her book, God in the Wilderness, she uses biblical stories, personal experiences and witty insights to reveal “the rich traditions and lessons God taught our ancestors in the wild” and to explore “why the natural world is essential to the spiritual development of Jews and Christians alike.”
