The Teva Learning Center Information

Mission: To fundamentally transform Jewish education through experiential learning that fosters Jewish and ecological sustainability. History: When the Teva Learning Center was created in 1994, it was novel, and perhaps even radical to declare there was a group of Jews interested in bringing to light Jewish teachings with environmental underpinnings. A program of Surprise Lake Camp now in its 18th year, Teva has since spawned a movement of Jewish environmental educators, schools, camps, farms, and organizations that are working together on a common goal. Thousands of people have been touched by Teva curriculum and programming. They have felt the impact Teva has on one's connection to the Jewish faith, God and the environment. These profound moments of experiential learning and spiritual epiphany exemplify the magic of Teva that grows in the hearts of so many inspired children and adults who have gone on to make a difference of their own. The time is now for all of us to move forward as an Alliance to embark on a common mission of great import and consequence. One that will benefit the Jewish people and all life on Earth for generations to come.
