Current School Anafim Partners:

We are privileged to work with the following schools as Anafim Partners. We advise and train their staff to run successful educational garden programs at their school.

The Anafim program was launched with a 2020 Ignition Grant from The Covenant Foundation. It helped us to train and support an inaugural cohort of teachers in our Virtual Anafim Program in 2021.

We now look to expand the Anafim Farmily with our 5th cohort in 2025, bringing our experiential and environmental Torah garden programs to even more schools across the USA.

We are incredibly grateful to The CBR Fund for its ongoing operational support of our Shorashim and Anafim programs.
