MISSION STATEMENTS

Mission Statement of Neot Kedumim, The Biblical Landscape Reserve In Israel

Neot Kedumim is a unique endeavor to re-create the physical setting of the Bible in all its depth and detail. Far more than a garden showing various biblical plants, Neot Kedumim opens up before visitors from around the world Israel’s nature as the idiom of the Bible. Neot Kedumim is equally conducive to quiet contemplation, serious learning, and educational programming as varied as leadership training and biblical cooking. Here, the symbols, prayers and holidays of our heritage blossom in a new and colorful dimension. Neot Kedumim was created to bring people from around the world closer to their biblical roots. Through experiencing the vistas of our biblical forebears, Neot Kedumim endeavors to plant a love of Israel into the heart of every visitor. Education, biblical heritage, and stewardship of the land are the three pillars of this process.

Goals and Objectives:
Through close study of traditional texts and equally careful observation of nature, Neot Kedumim is demonstrating how the Bible uses Israel’s landscapes to convey universal ideas. What follows is a prioritized list of key objectives for Neot Kedumim in Israel over the next 2 years.

2. Adequately staff our organization
3. Enhance the physical grounds
