"And all that I have created, I created for you; therefore take great care that you do not damage and destroy My world, for if you do destroy it there is no one else to repair it."
וכל מה שבראתי, בשבילך בראתי, תן דעתך שלא תקלקל ותחריב את עולמי, שאם קלקלת אין מי שיתקן אחריך
-Kohelet Rabbah 7:13:1
Our Mission
is to cultivate a more passionate, compassionate, and sustainable future rooted in Torah values.
All of our lessons stem from our
Four Core Torah Values.
Our classes explore the Torah relationships between humans, the earth, and our fellow creatures. Using the garden as an experiential classroom, our classes foster a joyful and meaningful connection to Judaism and environmental stewardship.
Our Pedagogy
is based on the premise that engagement and hands-on experiences are the precursors to a deep and lasting commitment.
Our Four Core Values
-
Environmental Stewardship
Humanity’s first mission was to work and gaurd the land, as such we believe in imparting the importance of this mission to our students.
-
Cultivating Compassion for Creatures
We believe it is our responsibility to care for all living creatures in this world. Through our classes we endeavor to cultivate the care and compassion for living creatures.
-
Incubating Emunah
We were gifted this world by God and therefore focus on instilling a recognition and appreciation for the complex, sustaining, and awe-inspiring world He gave us.
-
Living Tzedaka
The Jewish nation was chosen for their ability to embody tzedaka, charity or justice. The produce grown from our GrowTorah gardens is proudly donated to those in need.
