“Truth Will Grow From the Earth:”
Summer Bet Midrash on Judaism and Ecology
Hebrew College, June 15-22, 2008

Join us for a week of inclusive text study and conversation.

All texts are provided in Hebrew and English and participants of all backgrounds are encouraged to take part.
Our Jewish heritage has much to teach us about existing responsibly and creatively as interdependent living beings in the world. Torah and cosmos are deeply linked in Jewish sources from ancient to recent times. How can our Torah be responsive to the state of the world around us, and how can we learn wisdom from the teachings of our tradition to heal our world?
Tuition: $850. Generous scholarships are available. Tuition includes daily breakfast and lunch and all Shabbat meals. Please inquire about housing for out of town participants.
