About Us:
The Jewish Nature Centre of Canada: Torat HaTeva is thrilled to announce the opening of the Kavanah Organic Community Teaching Garden this spring at the Lebovic Jewish Community Campus in Vaughan, Ontario.
The Kavanah Garden is a Jewish, organic, sub/urban teaching garden. Our mission is to actively engage community members in Tikkun Olam, repairing the world, through hands-on, transformative programs, rooted in Judaism's deep ecological and agricultural wisdom.
The food we grow at the Kavanah Garden will be donated to social justice organizations to be distributed to community members who lack access to fresh, local, organic produce.
At the Kavanah Garden you will... Plant and harvest according to Jewish agricultural laws! Say a bracha and enjoy organic vegetables, fruits, and herbs! Do a mitzvah by helping harvest and prepare food for community members in need!
