Experience the beauty and wonder of Africa through vivid photography from Rabbi Ned Soltz's six journeys across the continent. Alongside incredible photos, discover the colonial histories that shaped the nations visited. Learn about endangered species and the vital work being done to protect them from overdevelopment, human encroachment, and climate change. The Mini U will also highlight the plants and animals of sub-Saharan Africa that appear in Tanach and Rabbinic literature.

For those wishing to place an African safari in a Jewish spiritual context, Psalm 104—the Psalm for Rosh Chodesh—offers a perfect place to begin.
