This post was written and submitted by Rabbi Zachary Zysman from Jewish Student Life who attended the Interfaith Pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
The Loyola Marymount University (LMU) Campus Ministry Interfaith Pilgrimage to the Holy Land was made possible through the creative and generous spirit of Father James Erps, S.J., director of Campus Ministry at LMU. Our trip was intentionally organized and carefully planned in partnership with Campus Ministry, Jewish Student Life (Student Affairs), and the Muslim Student Association (Theology department). Months of partnership, collaboration, and many meetings, emails, and phone calls went into planning this trip. We had endless discussions about where to go, how many days to spend where, how to incorporate an equal number of holy sites for each religion, and how many students and staff should go on the pilgrimage.
