Joined by archaeologist and fellow adventurer Avner Goren, Feiler begins his spiritual - and physical - journey by foot, boat, and train. In "Go Forth: from Creation to Abraham" Feiler and Goren explore the area between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Turkey, delving into the biblical story of Creation. From there they venture to Mt. Ararat in search of Noahś Ark, visit the Dead Sea, and then end up in Jerusalem.

Sinai (the scene of Moseś acceptance of the Ten Commandments), and finally to the top of Mt. Nebo, where God showed Moses the Promised Land for his people. Interspersed throughout each episode are dramatic Scripture readings, which put each locationś visit into context."@en
