For the past six years, he has been taking people canoeing. fishing and camping in the million-acre national preserve which lies be- tween Minnesota and Canada. The program in Costa Rica is similar — what Rabbi Kasowitz calls a "Jewish adventure holi- day" which maintains the most stringent standards of kashrut and affords men and women a Jewish experience, "without com- promising their standards of Tzaps, in an exciting and exotic natural environment that is off the beat- en track."

Kasowitz of Eagen, Minn., has organized an "Inward Bound Costa Rica" tour of the country which adds a spiritual dimension to the travel experience. He describes Inward Bound as "a non-profit organization dedi- cated to teaching and sharing the joys of the great outdoors, with the opportunity for the Jewish adventurer of keeping a kosher diet in a kosher atmosphere." There are many reasons both for the success of the AJC pro- gram and for the rabbi's decision to repeat the special kind of jour- ney to Costa Rica which he initi- ated a year ago.

"accompanied by tropi- cal birdsong and the crashing surf on a coral reef," says Rabbi Kasowitz. "Friedman provides us world- class learning and the cutting c
