Introduction	It was said about Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch that when he was well into his 70’s he decided to travel from Germany to Switzerland for a vacation. This was in the late 1800’s when cars and airplanes were unheard of. The trip was an arduous trek by train and coach. He was asked, ‘Rabbi, you’re an old man. Why are you taking such a trip?’ Replied Rabbi Hirsch, “After 120 years, I’ll meet my maker and he will ask me, ‘Raphael, did you ever see my magnificent Alps?’” I have to be able to answer that question. The world is truly a magnificent creation filled with all of God’s beauty. And we want to be able to answer the same question when we are asked: Fran, David, did you take the time to see my amazing creations?
