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

dynamic role of a working kibbutz, but also the place of land in Jewish
culture and tradition.

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.

No. of Participants: 10 - 50.
