A father is invited to attend Israel's first "Burning
more ...
Man" happening, in which his younger daughter is involved. This proves to be a 5-day event at an "incredibly well-organized tent city" a few kilometers from Sde Boker. No money is allowed at Midburn – "everything was given or taken … it's gifting, plain and simple". Everyone pitches in with whatever talents he/she can contribute.
