Here are a few photos of our dinner tonight: Tempeh, amazing vegan bread with bananas and nuts, rice, broccoli, and peanut sauce.
After dinner, we had a group discussion led by Eytan and Jo about the story of creation and how it relates to sustainability. While I have both heard and read the creation story before, I really enjoyed reading the story again through a different lens. As usual with the Torah, there were many questions that went unanswered during the discussion. Some of the questions raised were: who is the narrator? what does God mean when he says that "it was good"? While these questions couldn't be answered, the fact that they were brought up stimulated a lot of critical thinking and discussion on the topic. It was a great way to end the day.
Love always and forever,

During weeding the strawberry rows today we learned from Ole, a worker on the farm, about the proper methods of picking the weeds. He and Mill also taught us about the Stinging Nettle plant/weed that can cause hives, but also has medicinal purposes in healing arthritis. While it was a bit difficult at first, especially avoiding the Nettle, we soon got the hang of it and weeded about 3-4 rows of strawberries. The sun peeked out today, but we're hoping for more tomorrow!
Peace, love, and farming 'til I die,
Stephanie Cohen
