Come & Plant
"If you are holding a sapling in your hand and someone tells you, 'Come quickly, the Messiah is here!', first finish planting the tree and then go to greet the Messiah." (Midrash Avot Derabbi Natan, Version B, Chapter 31)
Learn about and experience the spiritual and cultural significance of trees to local human heritage. We have been told by people that it was the highlight of their trip to Israel! Let us know when you are in Israel, where you would like to plant, and we will put together an experience package for you.
Each planting experience, whether a large or small group, allows you to deepen your connection to the land and put literal roots down in the soil of this ancient nation. Regardless of your background, age or history in nature, there are few things in life more meaningful than being present in the moment as you put your hands in the soil and nurture new life that you know will survive for generations.
Thousands of years ago, the entire land of Israel was rich in native trees and vines and we are committed to restoring that green and vibrant ecosystem to our home. When you come and plant with us, you will be tapping into a connection to the past and future where instead of just taking from the land or paying lip-service to it we are actually giving it back what it needs to rebuild itself.
The land can sustain itself with our help and participating in that process is an experience that will stay with you for your whole life. You can come back any time to see the progress of your trees and we have no doubt you'll want to return and connect more with the land and its nature.
We can't wait to see you here in our homeland so come and join us on the land.
