I just discovered a very interesting Jewish group: Wilderness Torah, " Wilderness Torah awakens and celebrates the earth based traditions of Judiasm to nourish the connections between self, community, earth and spirit."
I really like the idea of Eco- Judiasm - a return to the garden, Moses wandering in the desert : Wilderness Torah
"Wilderness Torah makes these connections through an annual cycle of land-based pilgrimage festivals, including Sukkot on the Farm, Passover in the Desert and Shavuot on the Mountain; earth-based rites of passage, such as the Jewish Vision Quest, Wilderness Walks, and a b’nai mitzvah rites of passage program; and through educational programs that model and teach sustainable life skills such as organic gardening, food preparation and preservation, and nature awareness skills – all through a Jewish lens."
