The olive tree shown in the upper left of this page has survived for well more than a thousand years in the Judean Hills, and may date to the time of the second Temple. Now surrounded by the apple orchards of Kibbutz Tzuba, its gnarled trunk and new ring of bright, productive branches are a powerful metaphor for the tenacity of the peoples and the ecosystems of Eretz Yisrael.
The Heschel Center is a unique collaboration of academics and activists, builders and biologists, elementary principals and environmentalist politicians, teachers, doctors, journalists and many more who are committed to the development of sustainable communities in Israel.
