This is totally off the course, but I'm hoping some will know..... My
daughter is spending 6 weeks at Hebrew Univ. in Jerusalem.   They have
planned some side trips for the kids (she's 20) but she's looking for more
hiking kind of experiences.  Of course these need to be supervised, guided
tours.   Anyone know who she could possibly contact in Jerusalem for such
tours?
Thanks so much,
