Join us to celebrate our first fruits, new life on the farm, and the start of summer for Milk and Honey Farm. The Jewish holiday of Shavuot is traditionally connected to receiving the Torah on Mount Sinai, coincides with the biblical wheat harvest, and is a holiday many people associate with eating lots of dairy. Celebrate this year and bring your family to participate in meaningful and earth-based Shavuot and springtime activities. Stay for traditional and plant-based cheesecake and a BYO-picnic! Geared toward families with children ages 2-8 and their siblings. Advanced registration required.
“We welcome the Israeli government’s suspension of legislative consideration of judicial reform measures.
“The last three months have been painful to watch and yet a textbook case of democracy in action. We respect the political leaders, business executives, community activists, cultural figures, and ordinary Israelis who took to the streets, exercising their love of country, and their passion for democracy.
“As a next step, we encourage all Knesset factions, coalition and opposition alike, to use this time to build a consensus that includes the broad support of Israeli civil society.
“Israel’s political leaders must insist on a more respectful tone and debate. A hallmark of democracy is public consensus and mutual consideration.
“The Conference of Presidents, the Anti-Defamation League, the American Jewish Committee, AIPAC, and the Jewish Federations of North America will continue to confer with Israel’s governmental and civic leaders to ensure that the views of American Jewry are represented in the discussion. We are confident the resilience of Israeli democracy will successfully overcome the tremendous challenges it faces.”
