Dissecting the True Meaning of Kabbalah in Your Life

Sacred geometry.
Creation of life.
Tree of life.

How can we truly grasp the meaning of the sacred, secret scripture behind this symbol? On our Jewish trips around the world, we do not only place importance on relaxation and fun, but on honoring and exploring the Jewish heritage as well. One of the things we like to emphasize on is the Kabbalah.

The Kabbalah (Tree of Life)

Kabbalah Symbol

Although the Kabbalah is a discovery found by practicing Jews in the medieval times, it is surprisingly a symbol that’s found in different parts of the world in the areas of religion and universal belief and even in tours, and Jewish trips. It particularly signifies the creation of life in many, many different forms.

To us Jews, the Kabbalah is part of the fundamental teachings for enlightenment because of what it explains (in so many ways). But how can we truly utilize the meaning of the symbol in our life?

The only way is to find, identify and acknowledge your intention.

Kabbalah as Light

The most common intention to correlate the Tree of Life into your life is to describe it as a formless yet infinite, cascading light. This light can also be described as the supreme soul or G-d in which we take positive energy from.

Kabbalah as Wisdom of Knowing

The tree of life is a symbol we all know signifies the creation of life. It states the ideology that we are all merely in a situation that is already done and the mysteries of life are simply illusions that are hoping we could finally realize that we already embody everything we wish to be and have -- from within. Acknowledging that makes no space in our mind, body, and soul for worry and anxiety.

A Union with The Higher Self

The Kabbalah is a lot of things, translated in so many languages, described in various perspectives --- but the thing which connects us most with the sacred symbol is the reminder that we are creators ourselves and that we influence a bigger sphere without us realizing it.

A way to connect with your higher self is to discover the memorable sights where significant spiritual events occurred. If your intuition does lead you to a Kosher Cruise, the perfect option is Kosher River Cruises, a luxury, heritage travel cruise you and your family will surely appreciate.

How To Make the Most Out of A Cruise As a Senior Citizen

Being a senior citizen is often mistaken as a point in life to lounge around endlessly on a pillowed couch right by the window with a book or a journal. Of course, these are amazing hobbies, but have you ever thought about what you could write or read about if you didn’t have anything else to experience? These are finally your years to simply enjoy, and they should be filled majorly with buoyancy and leisure, whether it means traveling abroad or going on a kosher cruise with your family.

With our age at its maturity, there’s just no time to waste. Making the most out of your cruise isn’t just a luxury but rather a necessity.

How to make the most out of a cruise as a senior citizen? 

Consider the Cruise’s Accessibility

Our disabilities (to climb, run, walk long distances) shouldn’t stop us from experiencing the good things in life. To make the most out of a cruise, you should consider observing the pathways, elevators, and availability of wheelchairs. This can usually be found in their information pages online.

Appropriateness of the Itinerary

If you’re going on a cruise with school-trip-like activities and long walks, you’re probably not going to make the most out of your cruise. A little walk here and there can be fun but can cause certain pains in the back and the legs. An ideal cruise for senior citizens includes heritage tours, culinary delights, and family holiday cruises where you have the chance to meet like-minded people as well.

Is a Kosher diet possible on board? 

Exclude this if you’re not Jewish*, but us Jews know the challenge of finding good Kosher food when on an out-of-the-country escapade. There are times when we’d have to starve ourselves because there’s just nothing else to eat. Fortunately, there are Jewish trips like Kosher River Cruise that provides hearty kosher cuisine on board.

* An alternative take on this tip is to consider whether the ship has options for your current diet. A holiday or a vacation isn’t an excuse to get off your diet or stress yourself out with the limited options on board. For instance, if you’re vegan, a great way to travel on a cruise is by a Vegan Culinary Cruise.

3 Reasons why Custom River Cruises Are The Best

Perfect vacations are hard to achieve. They need to strike a balance between relaxation and many other factors. From security and safety to the anticipation it has to hold, a perfect vacation can be stressful to plan,l yet very rewarding in the end.

A perfect vacation may be hard to achieve due to a lot of  preparation. But what if there are some ways to achieve this with just a tad bit of planning? One example of this is river cruises.

River Cruises As The Perfect Vacation?

River cruises may be perfect for you and your group if you are:

Not too big or too small

• Make no mistake, this is based on the number of people. River cruises are not the same as a normal cruise as it only accepts about 200 people. If you’re preparing for a larger group (about 400- a few thousands), then a normal cruise would be better. Some companies even allow you to have a smaller group and ask you if you can open the group tour to the public.

Specially themed cruise

• If you can't find a specific theme to your liking or even a theme you like but is lacking something, you can try a customized version of a specifically themed vacation. One example of this is if you’re looking for a Jewish-friendly trip. You happen to find an all-kosher river cruise but you are unsatisfied with one thing or another (e.g the itinerary). You can contact them and ask for a custom itinerary!

Location and date change

• Much like the previous one, if you’re not satisfied with the locations or dates, you can call on the company and inquire other locations or dates available and you can customize it to your liking. Branching it off from the previous example on Jewish Trips, you can call the company and ask them if they have other Jewish heritage trips that they can offer.
