From Soil to Soul:  Farm to Community – Food Justice & Urban Agriculture

Walnut Street Synagogue, Chelsea, MA

Join us for the fourth and final session in our four-part online flavorful exploration of Israel’s rich food heritage.

TITLE:<h3>Farm to Community – Food Justice &amp; Urban Agriculture</h3> DESCRIPTION:In our closing session, we focus on how food becomes a tool for empowerment and community building. We’ll feature Muslala, a Jerusalem-based initiative turning rooftops into green learning labs, combining art, agriculture, and activism to reconnect people with their environment. We'll also explore the work of Leket Israel, the country’s largest food rescue network, which redistributes surplus produce to those in need, and organic food box projects that help support local farmers while making healthy food more accessible. ABOUT OUR SPEAKERAfter moving to Israel in 2005, Gila Levitan pursued her career in Physiotherapy and also studied for a Masters in Public Health from Hebrew University. After working in Health Policy Research she decided to become a licensed tour guide in order to pursue her passion for exploring and travelling around Israel. Gila loves to travel all over the world and brings the knowledge and experience of a well seasoned traveller to her explanations. Gila is very curious and likes to know all the little details and being a guide enables her to teach people about a place that she loves. Gila has a passion for languages, not only does she speak Hebrew fluently but has picked up bits and pieces of Arabic to understand local culture better, she also has basic French. Gila loves to add touches of local culture to her tours, off the beaten track places and local delicacies -the best way to travel she believes is to taste new flavors and make new friends. Gila is proud to have been awarded the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence for the past five years in a row.This series is made possible by a grant from the Congregation Ahabat Shalom Religious Fund and other generous donors.
