Yesterday (Wednesday), the Jewish National Fund (JNF) kicked off an eight day long "educators seminar" for Jewish educators and teachers around the world.
Coming from the US, Canada, South America, Europe, and South Africa, the educators will spend eight days touring the length and breadth of the country, seeing natural sites and receiving lectures on Israel and the environment.
The aim is for the educators to then return to their local communities with a better and deeper understanding of Jewish and Zionist values regarding environmental values.
