Jewish Great Loop Participation

PRACTICING JUDAISM while traversing the Great Loop is
di erent in some ways than practicing it in a given location
because, as a Looper you will traverse about 18 states and
potentially visit hundreds of ports.

e places you pass through and may choose to visit will
range from big cities with a variety of Jewish places of worship
and institutions to tiny towns with little or no Jewish presence.

Fortunately, you can bring most of the religious practices
and traditions you want and enjoy onboard. You may not
always have a convenient synagogue or fellow Jews close by at
all times, but your boat is your home and how Jewish you want
to keep it is the same matter of personal choice as it is at your
land home. If you want to keep kosher, there is no reason not
to. You can pack kosher food for the rst leg of your trip, and
good advance planning will allow you to buy kosher provisions
at various places along your chosen route.

e same goes for worship services. If you want to attend
Sabbath services ashore, you could plan your itinerary so you
dock your boat on Friday within walking distance of a syn-
agogue or you could hold your own prayer service onboard.

If Jewish fellowship is important to you, you can arrange
to travel with other Loopers who are Jewish and keep close to
them as you proceed around the loop. It is not likely that you
will randomly nd a large number of Jews in each port, but it
is not impossible either. ●
