Torah Flora Walking Tour of Rawlings Conservatory & Garden
June 26, 2022 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
A guided tour of the plants in the Garden & Conservatory and the surprising stories of their importance and meaning in Torah and Jewish history.
Biblical and Talmudic botanist Dr. Jon Greenberg, author of TorahFlora.org, will explain why the olive-oil menorah replaced an earlier symbol for Chanukah; where Moses got the huge boards to build the Tabernacle; why bananas replaced parsley on some seder plates, and many more puzzles that can be solved by a partnership of science and Torah.
Fruits of Freedom, Dr. Greenberg’s Torah Flora Hagadah with botanical commentary, will be available for purchase.
$10 (cash only, please)
