Wisdom Garden’s Social Action, Ecology Program Opens to All Young Teens, starts October 14
The Havurah Synagogue’s Wisdom Garden program provides a hands-on early teen educational program, geared toward 11-14 year old Jewish and non-Jewish students. The program’s curriculum is based on making the world a better place and includes outdoor and social action components. The focus of the curriculum is to give young teens the confidence to be the best they can be by helping make the world and the planet a better place.
Students will learn values and ethics, rooted in Judaism and universally applicable, that offer guidance in the stewardship of the earth, social action, and encouraging the cultivation of a universal approach to spirituality. The 1-2 year program culminates with a transformational, coming-of-age sacred ceremony for the non-Jewish participants and a bar or bat mitzvah for the Jewish students.
