A Different Kind of Journey

===World of Warcraft is an immersive 3-D environment that engages the player in learning challenges. The most obvious of those is survival in the face of threat from wild animals, bandits, and enemy warriors. These kinds of threats are foreign to our day to day lives (for the most part), but not entirely unknown in Jewish tradition. Tefilat ha derech - The Traveler's Prayer was written in a time when these kinds of dangers were very much a part of daily life. Do you see this prayer any differently in light of your experience in WoW?===

Look at Tefilat ha derech and choose one of the following as your assignment:

 * Explain how you might use WoW or a similar game to teach tefilat ha derech.
 * Write a prayer or meditation that might be used by a game player.
 * Discuss the theology of tefilat ha derech versus that of WoW
