Join Rabbi Magat and Docent Naturalists Nancy Weintraub and Helena Cohen for a special Shabbat in Nature as we begin a new year, a new month, and Parashat Bereshit ("in the beginning").  You will learn about the natural and cultural history "in the beginning" as we take in the beautiful sweeping vistas from the Ridge Trail and Charquin Trails of Russian Ridge. We will have a brief ritual discussion and stop for a trailside snack. If weather permits expect to see spectacular views.  Bring your own snack, comfortable hiking shoes, at least one liter of water per person. We will traverse a gentle to moderate 3.5 mile loop on the ridge.

Here's a map to the Russian Ridge Parking (limited spaces so if you would like to arrange carpools prior to then and meet at a more convenient location to minimize parking, please let Nancy Weintraub know and she can work with you to determine best carpools.
