From Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles LA-Tel Aviv Twinning Educators Training:
Dear Bill,
On behalf of the Federation, I want to thank you for a fabulous lunch and learning on the Shalom Institute farm with the coordinators from our Joint Teachers Seminar. It was really a perfect afternoon in the Marla Bennett Israel Garden: the setting was glorious, the food delicious and the experience inspiring. Thank you for attending to both the small details and the spirit of the event. The great atmosphere made it very conducive to learn from nature and to see the connections between the Jewish teaching and the food we plant and eat.
Shari Davis, Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles
