Describe Your Initiative The workshop series provides young Jews with the skills to translate meaningful aspects of our tradition to the conditions of today: adapting to the climate crisis through reverence for the more-than-human world as it applies to our ancient traditions. Participants will leave the workshop with a better understanding of how the natural world is intrinsic to our tradition, and with basic skills for connecting to the local bioregion. Hands on learning during each session is woven with text and brachot study. What Are You Hoping to Learn from the Initiative? I’m excited to create a platform where I can teach and study topics that excite me as an herbalist and student of Judaism. I imagine I will learn a lot by meeting with more people within my own community and build a stronger learning community.
