Rabbi on the Road
Travel lives at the heart of Dini’s mission - both physical and spiritual travel. Leaving one place to go explore another, encountering new ideas and new people, and then returning having been transformed in our own self-understanding -- that’s the core experience of education and spiritual adventure.
15 Years of Travels
Whether through a text, a melody, a ritual, a cocktail, or a conversation, Dini’s trips present horizons that summon people to think and feel beyond our own immediate experiences so as to encompass a more expansive understanding of our purpose in life, and a more expansive understanding of how Jewish tradition can be a source of healing and hope to all of humanity and our planet itself.

Upcoming Trips
Basque Country, Spain
Basque Country unfolds along a picturesque landscape hugging the French-Spanish border just west of the Pyrennes with a stunning Atlantic coastline. It distinguishes itself through its language, history, food, wine, villages, and art.
While some trace Jewish presence in Spain to as far back as the Bible itself, in the Basque region our stories mostly begin with the expulsions of 1492 when Jews fled Spain and Portugal to the northern part of the country and to France. There are echoes of our presence everywhere.

Previous Trips
Norway
Of all the Scandinavian countries, Norway is considered the most sustainable in the world, bringing to life a vision of the future lived in deep alignment with our planet and its natural resources. Shaping every facet of society from urban planning to electric planes, from zero-emission fjord cruisers to “plogging” and “panting” (community-based, incentivised recycling programs), from slow green fashion to waste-avoiding food sharing apps, Norway is a setting of breathtaking landscapes and breath-inducing, eco-certified living; a setting envisioned by timeless Jewish sensibilities and conjured by Jewish prophets, ancient and contemporary.
