FROM IDEAS TO ACTION:
BRING SUSTAINABILITY TO YOUR COMMUNITY
The Teva Seminar on Jewish Environmental Education, June 4th-7th at
Surprise Lake Camp in New York's Hudson Valley, is an innovative
professional development opportunity for those interested in Jewish
education, environmental sustainability, camping, gardening, or just
plain having fun. Through studying Torah, hiking, singing, and
gardening, educators and lay-leaders engage in a three thousand year
old dialogue about the connection between God, earth, and humanity.
Participants will gain the skills to bring excitement and vibrance to
formal and informal educational settings through workshops with
leading Torah scholars, scientists, and educators. Check out our four
diverse tracks to see what is right for you.
