A “newie” to ESRA, Amy Avgar joins a jam-packed

trip down to the Dead Sea,
through the Judean Desert. This takes in an observation point over Wadi Kelt, the Kassar Al Yahud baptismal site, with white-robed people still getting “dunked” in the Jordan, the ancient Ein Gedi synagogue.

All this in a 4-day trip. Unbelievable!
