abstract
  • Founded in 2004 by Yael Ukeles, a New York native and outdoor educator, the program was created connect Jews with Israel and to stress the connection that exists between Judaism and nature. The organization was started in Israel as an outgrowth of Ukeles' earlier program Teva Adventure and was incubated by SPNI (Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel) for its first years. Ukeles says that she modeled Derech Hateva after environmental programs in the United States like National Outdoor Leadership School and Outward Bound. The idea was similar to Outward Bound - to create educational opportunities by placing participants out in nature without modern convenience forcing self & group reliance. Its first two summers were only open to Orthodox Jewish teens. By 2007, interest in the program allowed it to be expanded, and it was opened up to young people from multi-denominational backgrounds in multiple sessions.
