Seeking Safety in the Desert
Throughout the Torah (Bible) the desert serves as a place of escape. David, Yirmiyahu(Jeremiah) and later, Bar Kokhba all flee to the desert hills to escape persecution. In ancient times, the wilderness was a place in which to disappear. Today, as a result of Hashem’s blessings, the deserts of Israel are filled with life.
