We will learn foundational texts that survey GrowTorah’s 4 core values, exploring how we bring experiential Jewish Education into Jewish Day Schools. This event is closed to the public.
Kedma and JFarm present a GrowTorah interactive garden-based Torah learning experience. More details forthcoming after Sukkot.
The Workmen’s Circle Taste of Jewish Culture presents Yiddish on the Farm: An Urban Twist on Harvest Classics. Local artisans and chefs will present farm-to-table Jewish traditions from Eastern Europe to the Middle East. Price Includes admission, drinks, and noshes.
GrowTorah will be presenting on various topics in Experiential Jewish Education.
GrowTorah will be marching with “Nature Israel” or ASPNI, the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel- Israel’s oldest and leading environmental NGO, as it marches for the first time, in unison with several other Jewish Environmental Organizations, including Canfei Nesharim: Sustainable living inspired by Torah & the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life (COEJL). We will march in unity as a show of solidarity with Israel and its natural resources.
Drop by and dig in with your family for a fun gardening workshop at the Massin home. We'll plant spring crops, tend the compost, learn some Torah, and share Brachot over yummy garden-themed beverages.
There is no fee, but donations are graciously accepted via our website (growtorah.org/donate), or by check.
We look forward to planting with you!
