Families will:
- Engage in a meaningful and fun multisensory Jewish learning experience as a family (children, parents, grandparents, other family members).
- Understand that shomrei adamah, caring for the earth, is a Jewish obligation.
- Learn to make a sustainable gardening project.
Ideal for grandparents to take the lead.
