The most important spiritual journey of the year for us Jews is getting ready to depart and so many of us are running way behind. Buying High Holiday seats and inviting friends and family as well as cooking meals are just a minor part of the planning. What about the purpose of the cruise itself- A journey towards finding, reminding ourselves, reawakening, and reuniting with Truth. Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur (not to mention Sukkos) are a spiritual voyage towards Truth on the Royal King of Universe Cruise Line. This voyage stops at no less than three separate truth destinations- personal truth, the truths of others, and God’s truth.
