You're listening to Rabbi Daniel Appen on demand.

The Blaze Radio Network.

On demand.

The more the world changes, the more we find comfort in the things that never change.

This is Rabbi Daniel Abin, on demand, on the Blaze Radio Network. Hi, everybody.

Welcome to the Rabbi Daniel Lapin show, where I take you back a few years.

I was at school at the time, and a friend of mine, a number of

years older than me, but somebody with whom I would occasionally go camping, asked me if I'd be

interested in seeing something that was completely amazing.

And of course I said yes, and we put the camping gear, and there was some other equipment as well.

He threw into the back of his pickup truck, and we jumped in, and off we went, and we went off into the African felt.

We used to speak of it, V-E-L-D.

And eventually, after a couple of hours, we arrived in a very remote and isolated area

and all that one could see there were ant mounds, you know, a common sight in that part of Africa,

but I've never seen it anywhere else since. And so I'm going to try and describe it because

you've probably not seen it.

Okay, so there we are in the felt and there's this tall grass.

And the grass, you know, could be five feet high, easy.

And there's bushes and there's trees.

And every now and then dotted around were these huge sand heaps.

But when I say sand heap, you tend to think of a heap like you might find on a construction site where it's a round shaped heap of sand.

No, this looks like a Gothic cathedral of kinds.
