We are in the month of Nissan, the Talmud tells us that

"If one goes outside during the month of Nissan and sees trees that are blossoming he recites a blessing"

Sadeh is filled with gorgeous blossoming fruit trees right now, and we welcome you to come celebrate them with us at our volunteer morning this Thursday 10am-1pm (followed by optional potluck lunch)

Before lunch we always gather to get to know each other and do a little learning. This week we will explore this intriguing blessing and then say it ourselves over our stunning blossoming fruit trees!

All welcome, all ages, all experience levels! Sign up in bio 🌸

LEEKS 💚

Today is a Spring Fellowship day and we are harvesting the last of our leeks from the field!

We will of course be saving some of the leeks for hitting each other at our first night Seder.

Here is a lovely leek aka פּאָרע recipe from the The Vilna Vegetarian Cookbook. This is a Yiddish cookbook published in 1938 by Fania Lewando, the proprietor of a popular vegetarian restaurant in Vilna. It was thought to have vanished along with most of European Jewry but in 1995 it was discovered by a couple at an antiquarian book fair in England and sent to YIVO Institute of Jewish Research who commissioned a translation that make Lewando's charming, delicious, and practical recipes available to an audience beyond the wildest dreams of the visionary woman who created them.

Leek Appetizer

Cut 3 large leeks and a Spanish onion into small pieces, and sautee in butter. Add 3 diced hardboiled eggs, 6 tablespoons butter, 4 tablespoons bread crumbs, 3 diced scallions and [chopped fresh] dill. Add 2 raw eggs and some salt, and mix well. Melt a tablespoon of butter in a pot, and add the leek mixture. Cover well, and bake 1/2 hour. Serve sprinkled with dill.

[For best results, sautee the leeks and onions slowly over a low flame. It will take about 20 minutes. None of the recipes in this collection specifies an oven temperature, for the simple reason that temperature in the wood or coal ovens of that era could not be easily adjusted. A moderate oven of about 350f works for most of the recipes, unless otherwise specified - Ed.]

Today on the Fellowship our Fellows learnt about mammals (amongst other things!)

Sadeh is a great place to learn about nature! Fellows gain knowledge and extra appreciation for the fascinating biology and life histories of our furry relatives on the farm through studying a variety of skulls and learning about ID techniques with our member of staff who is a former UK mammal conservation scientist 🐀🐇🐕🦊🦔🐾🦇

If this is interesting to you, consider signing up for our next Fellowships! Check out the link in our bio or see our website 🙂

🌸🎭Join us for a Friday Night Dinner at Sadeh, celebrating Purim and spring on it's way! 🎭🌸

All welcome, whether it's your 1st Purim or 121st. Expect candles, tasty food, good company and springtime joy!

Be sure to sign up with the link in bio

Before our potluck dinner we'll be joined by special guest educator Yael Roberts. Yael says "We will reclaim the Rabbi's notion of Esther as earth (karkah), treasuring her greenness (yerakroket) as we look to her as a role model of beauty in exile and possibilities of radical transformation. With sensitivity, with space for all to be
and with embodied gentleness, we will explore the Purim story from a
feminist lens."

Please arrive for 6pm, March 22nd, and bring a vegetarian dish to share.

Fancy dress encouraged! Sign up link in bio!
