Review for Eden Acres Environmental Education, Forest Grove, OR, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Eden Acres is an amazing place, and a gem in my children's lives! I grew up in the country, but we live in the suburbs. I love that my kids spend (at least) one whole day a week outside, playing, learning, and making friends. The adults who lead each day are warm, kind, creative and create a wonderful place.

Thank you, OlyToby! We are grateful to have the opportunity to provide a safe place for kids to learn and grow outdoors, and get a bit of what so many of us got in our own childhoods but can be lacking in today's society

 

Review for Wilderness Torah, Berkeley, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Wilderness Torah's blend of experience, education, community and ritual opens doors for people seeking a deeper connection to land, time, inward reflection and outward connection. This year's Sukkot on the Farm Festival was held on a farm in a gorgeous valley on the coast - with amazing mostly local fresh foods prepared by every member of the community under the guidance of the Amazing Avishai - with visits from our farmer hosts and their neighbors - and with the full moon of Tishrei rising over the hillsides each evening.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

terms of glimpsing other ways of living in relationship to the land and to Jewish community.
