(I just received the following from Hebrew College up in Boston. For all those who are between 18 and 25, with time, inclination and the funds, this could be a great learning opportunity. Spread the word!)
"The Jewish Farm School and Hebrew College are partnering to offer you a week-long, intensive course exploring the intersection of Judaism, agriculture and contemporary food justice.
This week of experiential learning will help you increase your skill-based knowledge of sustainable agricultural techniques while you engage in meaningful volunteer service work.
You will have the opportunity to dialogue with activists, community leaders and business leaders and to study in the Hebrew College beit midrash (house of study) where classic Jewish texts will enlighten your understanding of contemporary environmental and food justice issues. A team of expert instructors from Hebrew College and Jewish Farm School will be on hand to offer guided mentorship.
