The Edible Garden at Rodef Shalom

Rodef Shalom is one of 20 Reform North American congregations to receive a “URJ Incubator Grant” from the Union for Reform Judaism! The grant has established “The Edible Garden at Rodef Shalom.” A container garden consisting of vegetables, fruits, and trees is located on the Deaktor Terrace. In addition, a Jewish education program for preschoolers, religious school children, and congregants, along with a composting program, complements the garden.

Seed to Table

This garden exemplifies the Jewish value of healthy, sustainable food choices, and strengthens the traditional Jewish connection between food and social responsibility. The education and activities engage all generations and utilize master-gardeners within our membership.

Find Your Green Thumb

Our committee is forming! We are purchasing materials, scheduling workshops, and developing curriculum.  Planting will begin in April, when volunteers will be needed to install and maintain the garden. Do you love to garden or want to learn? Do you know someone who loves plants? Consider being a part of our committee, and bring a friend! Everyone is welcome to participate. No experience required!

To get involved, contact Chair Pamela Harbin at (412) 216–4536.
