Tzippi Moss backpacked the 1000-kilometer Israel Trail with her husband and 18-year-old son over a two-month period. From pine-covered hills to saw-toothed desert, she battled flooded rivers, scorching heat, and soul-sucking mud, unsure if the journey would make or break the family. The goal was to raise funds to find a cure for the neurological killer ALS, the disease that took the life of her beloved mother-in-law. The people and landscapes taught her core life lessons for both the body and soul. Angels & Tahina is a testament to the power of family and impossible dreams, as well as a love letter to a country forged by faith and courage.
