Teaching team members:
Who will be creating the teaching?
Which texts:
*
Which texts will you use? Choose from JRF Source Text Study Packet (see file attached below) or other texts of your own choosing.
Projects:
Native Gardens (woodland area with paths, and prairie area with pathway and benches); Composting (vermiculture with Early Learning Center); and Ongoing Active Learning about Judaism and nature within Early Learning Center (e.g. grow seedlings, nature walks). TEACHING TEAM MEMBERS (I could not include full descriptions above): Avraham Yehoshua (VP Religious Affiars), Robin Frisch (Director, Early Learning Center), Laura Sosnowski (member, Tikkun Olam Committee), Paula Fraser (member, Tikkin Olam Committee), TBD congregants who planted trees. Rabbi Moti Rieber may be involved (tbd).
Tell us about the project(s) your community has undertaken or is undertaking that relate(s) to the texts from which you will teach.
Form of teaching:
We envision 3 teachings: (1) text analysis; (2) essay about the native gardens project, w/links to texts; and (3) essay about Early Learning Center activities (composting and other), w/links to texts. For (2), we will incorporate quotes from congregational members who planted trees. For (3), we will incorporate quotes from our children. We have not gotten to the point yet of deciding on the specific content of our teachings but they would relate to the stewardship of creation, the connections (physical and spiritual) between humans and the rest of the natural world, and concern for future generations. NOTE: Due to schedule of the teaching team members, it would REALLY be helpful, if we are selected, if we could teach the last, or next to last weeks.
Any ideas yet regarding the form your teaching will take (e.g. poem, essay, text analysis, illustration, a play etc.) and content.
