The Israel Experience:

A Park of Peace and Environment


Kibbutz Gezer Seminar Center


Purpose: Pinat Shorashim is a park built by over 1000 participants, and dedicated to peace and environment while deeply rooted in Jewish sources and soil. Experiencing Pinat Shorashim guides the participants, through an informal education, toward an understanding of not only the dynamic role of a working kibbutz, but also the place of land in Jewish culture and tradition.

Process: The seminar includes a tour of Pinat Shorashim, which is linked by paths separating a number of different sections containing various modules examining links between the Bible, the landscape of Israel and Jewish traditions. Other additional options include a hands on visit to biblical Tel Gezer and an in-depth educational experience at modern Kibbutz Gezer.

Implementors: Top Jewish educators from the Diaspora, now living in Israel. Experts in Jewish history, kibbutz life and Jewish youth work from around the world.

Target group: Ages 15 - Adult.

No. of Participants: 10 - 50.

Duration of activity: 2 - 6 hours.

Location of activity: Kibbutz Gezer (between Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem).
