ORFC Shabbat Dinner with Miknaf Ha'aretz & the Jewish Farmer Network

Welcoming all Jewish* farmers and Jewish attendees of the Oxford Real Farming Conference to join us for Shabbat dinner on Friday 10th January.

We will gather in community, light candles together, bring in the shabbat with kabbalat shabbat songs and prayers, feast and reflect on our time at the ORFC. We will invite conversation around our relationship to land as both Jewish peoples with histories of displacement from land, and farmers (or farming-adjacent folks) today grappling with how to be in right relationship with the lands we live in. 

*This event is open to all those who identify as Jewish (and their loved ones), including those who might not feel 'Jewish enough'. We know this can be complicated - please do get in touch if you want to check in about this!

Location: Oxford, TBC

Timings: 6:30 - 10pm 

This event will be hosted by Miknaf Ha'aretz and supported by the Jewish Farmer Network.

Miknaf Ha'aretz organises to heal, repair and reimagine Jewish belonging & connection to land beyond nationalism and zionism. We cultivate earth-based, radical, diasporist jewish community in the UK through immersive courses, retreats & events exploring nature-connection, food & land justice & regenerative farming. We insist on uplifting Jewish safety, belonging and re-connection to land through a politics of solidarity and collective liberation.

Our mission at Jewish Farmer Network is to cultivate the social, cultural and spiritual well-being of Jewish farmers. Jewish Farmer Network nurtures a vibrant community among thousands of Jewish farmers by exploring and celebrating our Jewish agricultural heritage and wisdom.
