Rabbi addresses religious visit to Utah

I was invited to hear Rabbi Richard Spiegel of Temple Etz Chaim

speak at a Friday evening service to hear his report on his two-day

religious tour with four other rabbis to Utah by invitation from The

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Spiegel said he felt like the king of England in that he was treated

very graciously during the whole trip. He described the great tours and

discussion he and the other rabbis had starting in Provo, where they

met with several Brigham Young University professors.

He was especially impressed that one of those professors had climbed Mount Zion in the Holy Land 18 times.
