Hess blends the activities such as card and awareness games, in which each of the participants discloses another character trait. This is a good way to learn about the participants’ backgrounds.
The tour also includes group meditation, coffee and tea around a bonfire while Hess unfolds stories relating to traditional and historic relations. Later Hess holds prayer sessions where each participant can have a heart to heart talk with Rabbi Yonosson Ben Uziel and himself. Hess explained that this gives participants an opportunity to think about what they really want from life.
As a bonus, the special relationship that is created between the participants serves as a good basis for a future intimate relationship.

Don’t you vory, they don’t know my stuff, they are just a little superstitious.

Huh? They talk to rabbi Yoneson Ben Uzeil? What is this, do that use one of those boards that they bring the dead up with and then they hear him talking, is it a regular old seance? (whidh is obviously against halacha)
