Walk-in-the-Wild
Walk-in-the-Wild that combines
ecological/environmental teaching with Judaism and is suitable for
people of all ages. On a Walk-in-the Wild we explore the similarities between
adaptive camouflage for plants and animals and mystical aspects of the
aleph-bet and the Torah; study animal tracks as a way to teach about
halacha and many more activities. Like on all BBA programs we also examine Jewish eco-theological sources along with the teachings of John Muir,
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Aldo Leopold, Rachel Carson, Bill McKibben and
others. This program is easily adapted to meet a wide range of age
groups, from older school age students to adults.
This is portable program that can take place in any park or a large wood lot.
There is nothing like a trip into the outdoors for spiritual renewal.
These ooh, ahh walks are like a mini summer camp experience squeezed into a few
hours: Intense, invigorating, educational and fun!
Bar/Bat Mitzvah and Parent Experiences
Great parent/child bonding adventures. Turn the bar/bat mitzvah experience into the beginning of a great shared Jewish journey.
