philosophy

Jews in the Woods has been inspired by the values of pluralism and trans-denominationalism — it is a community strengthened by and respectful of the diverse philosophies inherent in the backgrounds and experiences of its participants. Each gathering is prepared for by the folks who want to come. Through their ability to educate each other as to their needs and expectations (and their capabilty to compromise and be creative) they develop models for a holy, peaceful, and essential space that they can join their voices and intentions within. — Aharon V.
