From the Ethical Culture Society of Essex County and the Village Green: The simple act of walking is an age-old method for people from around the world to connect with one another. Since 2007, the Abraham Path Initiative (API) has seeded walking trails in the part of Southwest Asia we call “the Middle East” to introduce people to an ancient land and its hospitable residents. For API, walking is a tool to deepen understanding, experience cultures, and foster friendships across challenging divides. API shines a light on the ages-old traditions of hospitality in the region, emphasizing how people welcome strangers in honor of Abraham/Ibrahim, the spiritual ancestor of over half of humanity.
