Former Sar-El madrich, Nachshon is now participating in  ADAMAH, the Jewish Environmental Fellowship program in the United States.

Participants like Nachshon spend much of their time learning and practicing sustainable agriculture and animal husbandry on the four-acre ADAMAH farm and in small gardens throughout the retreat center. Fellows also participate in leadership training, community living, ecological and Jewish seminars with visiting faculty. Nachshon is also co-editing the organization's blog, which can be found at: http://adamahfellow.wordpress.com/

Although he'd never run a marathon before, Sar-El participant Matt Watermann decided that his first ever attempt should take place while in Israel. As a result, Matt ran and completed the Tiberias Marathon on January 7th, 2010. Congratulations!

Good Luck to all of them and we look forward to hearing about their progress!
