Moriah Gardens With GrowTorah

This week Moriah students jumped into Sefer Bereshit in the GrowTorah garden! They learned that when Adam and Chava were created, they didn’t have fingernails. It was only on Motzei Shabbat, after Hashem had ordered them out of the garden, that He created their nails so that they should be able to work the soil. Fast forward to Parshat Noach and things finally get a little easier for humanity. Flood aside, Noach was the inventor of the plow. No more fingernail tilling! His name, Noach, is connected to the concept of rest that improved technology provides us. The kids practiced tilling both with their fingernails and then with tools. Students didn’t forget that Noach was a big tzadik, so they gathered onions, potatoes and radish for tzedaka!
