Teva

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. Initially a program of Surprise Lake Camp, Teva is now its 20th year and is a program of Hazon. Teva has 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. One that will benefit the Jewish people and all life on Earth for generations to come.
