Learning to Care for Nature's Garden
“Truth shall sprout forth from the ground”- Psalm 85: 12
The LSJS Responsibility Unit believes doing good requires hands-on work. So we have transformed the vacant plot in our backyard into a thriving organic eco-garden, Gan Teva. The Garden project is focused on core Jewish values.
To Work and Protect
Learning how to cultivate and care for a garden as a paradigm for responsible living on this earth.
Mending the World
Organic growing and sustainable practice as a life-long skill towards healing a ruptured ecology.
The Law of Planting is called Faith
Teaching ourselves and our children the fragile rhythm of agriculture attunes them to a relational life with nature and the Divine.
It is a Tree of Life to Those Who Hold Fast to It
Integrating Jewish wisdom and Halacha into healthy eating and growing.
Gan Teva runs experiential education workshops for children and adults in organic gardening, composting, and food; grounded on the teachings of Jewish law and ethics.
Garden Tours
From Eden to Allotment
Educational tours of the garden will run in the Autumn term both before and after the morning teaching sessions from 9:30 - 10am and again at 12 - 12:30pm on a prebooked basis.
The tours are free and open to all LSJS students.
