In rural Britain, a radical
Jewish community is seeking a new
definition of land justice.
Hart, Moon and Hannah Peers walk through the forest in Devon, near Hart's home on the edge of Dartmoor National Park.
It’s October and 50 Jews of diverse backgrounds, ages and relationships with traditional Judaism have gathered to celebrate the New Year at a farm in southeast England. They pray and sing together. They meditate. They walk through the fields. They move between grief and laughter. They bless and eat apples grown on the farm, dipping them in honey from local bees—a symbol of the gift of the harvest and the hope for sweetness in the coming year.
