Special Projects
Young Judaea
In cooperation with the Young Judaea Zionist youth movement, groups of teen volunteers spend three months on the Hava & Adam Farm.
Young Judaea is the Zionist Youth Movement of Hadassah that was established in the U.S. in 1909. Today the movement includes approximately 5,000 members. Towards their goal of building a Jewish identity and Zionist commitment, youth come to Israel to volunteer for varying periods of time. Over the past decade 18,000 participants have come to Israel through this program, contributing to developing a meaningful relationship between Jewish Diaspora youth and Israel; the land and the Jewish people.
Young Judaea volunteers participate in ongoing activities on the Farm including mud building, organic farming and ecological activities with children and youth. They live and work on the Farm becoming intimate with the Land and its physical aspects while participating in the community experience of building and creating together with other volunteers and living Zionism in a direct way.
Eco Israel
A 5-month residential program, Eco-Israel combines Judaism and ecology for English-speaking young adults interested in “Living the Land”. Specifically designed to the Israeli landscape and Jewish mindset, the Eco-Israel program is for young adults ages 20-30. The Eco-Israel Program is designed to enable the young international Jewish community to experience a land-based Israel connection. Participants learn Jewish sources in the ecological context and work the land within the seasons and cycle of the Jewish calendar, allowing them to develop a sense of the depth of Judaism and to create a model by which they can identify with the issues that are most relevant to their lives. They learn about organic agriculture, permaculture living skills, plant and craft culture, Israeli history and Jewish land ethics as well as becoming acquainted with the country through hikes and field trips, learning Hebrew and much more.
