Learning Jewish Values from Nature

Much of the learning at Livnot is done during the hikes, using sources that teach Jewish values from elements of nature, relating to personal growth and Tikkun Olam.
Below is a partial list of what we learn from the Grapevine - Leadership Hyssop - Lighting up the Dark Tamarisk - Community Willow - Yearning Caperbush - Eternity of the Jewish People Date Tree - Sustainability Fig - Education Carob - Interpersonal Relationships Broom Bush - Ethical Speech Chevruta Throughout each day's activities, Livnot

participants take part in "chevruta" (one-on-one independent peer study), which correspond to the theme of each day. Here are some examples of themes: Continuity - How have the Jewish People survived throughout the ages? Shmirat Halashon - The Jewish Art of Positive Speaking Challenges - What are the biggest obstacles we face in our lives, and how do we meet them? Community - What is a healthy balance between our personal needs and the needs of our community?

Gratitude - Does modern society help us to become more thankful, or more thankless? Courage - Who, in your opinion, is a courageous person? By what standard do you measure courage? Caring - There is a Jewish tradition to try to " x the world." Is this realistic? Sensitivity - How do we become more sensitive people? Is it possible to be *too* sensitive? Amazement - Have you ever been truly amazed? What causes you to be in a state of awe? Chesed - "What is meant by "giving by taking?" Unity - What does "unity" mean to you? Is it a realistic goal in the world today? Creativity - Is creativity an expression of your ideology, or of your soul? Building Relationships - How do we decide whether a relationship is healthy or not?
