Experience the Nature of Prayer

Nili Simhai, Laura Bellows

Identity and Responsibility, Ritual and Prayer

When you pray, move your feet! Join Nili Simhai, the Director of Teva, for a morning hike and experiential prayer. Please wear sturdy, closed-toed shoes and bring a water bottle.

Film: “Renewal”

“Renewal” is the first feature-length documentary to capture the breadth and vitality of America's religious-environmental movement. Muslims are supporting sustainable farming. At Teva, Jews are helping children experience the bond between nature and spirituality. GreenFaith is helping houses of worship make their buildings more environmentally sound. These three sections of the documentary will be presented followed by a discussion on environmental activism.
