sheilamarie, It's impressive that the monks have such a commitment to preserving ancient collections and spiritual exercises. Is the traveling exhibit something that you can share on Wizzley as an article? It's quite an experience to be in the same place as awe-inspiring icons.
St Catherines Monastery has some wonderful icons. I've seen some of them in a traveling exhibit.
Mira, Fortunately for me (and for Wizzley readers like you), Bruce Feiler's books and DVD were recommended to me ! ;-]
How did you learn of Bruce Feiler? Sometimes it's hard to find a good author/book amid all the clamor.
Mira, Bruce Feiler is a captivating, intelligent host and writer. His books are difficult to put down, and he has such a respect for reader/viewer interest. (The same may be said of Avner Goran.)
One of my favorite moments in the documentary is where he's observing the early services at St Catherine's burning bush monastery, looks so astutely at the camera, and confides so engagingly that "I've done the math" about the total number of services ever held there.
I watched 38 minutes of it and it's quite enthralling. It's really well done as a documentary, moves along really nicely. I'll watch the rest as well.
